I’ve been having between 10 and 50 percent packet loss on my Vodafone mobile data connection, pretty much all the time for the last fortnight or so.  On top of that, the transparent proxy issue I’ve been having hasn’t gotten any better yet.  I get that I’m in a marginal coverage area, but it never used to be this bad.  I’m getting really tempted to switch to Telecom, given the promotion they’re running at the moment.
