Hello. I am a frequent user of atypical internet services (e.g.: communications outside of typical ports for web 80, 443 or email IMAP 993,143 and SMTP 465,587,25)
I connect regularly to servers (computers used to serve web and other internet services) and i often make remote connections to individual’s desktops to provide on-the-spot assistance
I have found that since using iD mobile, those connections are repeatedly disconnected making them painful to use. No such interruptions exist during web-based audio/video streaming, although it’s possible a sizeable buffer would cover for any interruptions
I cannot completely rule out my PC or hardware are at fault, or that my location relative to nearest 3-network transmitter is the cause, but the evidence i have suggests otherwise:
- a Lebara SIM (Vodaphone) using the exact same set-up does not exhibit these issues
- my signal strength is at maximum, as the coverage here is excellent
- speed tests such as netmeter.co.uk indicate very good PING and transmission speeds in both directions but the tests do not complete; they are interrupted a few seconds into the measurements and so only give partial results
I was not able to find any information relating to iD policy with regard to internet connectivity and filtration thereof (aside from a default adult content filter)
Many thanks in advance for anyone with knowledge on these matters
