Techies would use tor yes, how about the vast majority of non-techies who more like ensure techies get paid for paying up for service ? Simple solutions are nvr the way to go about problems of any kind .. but rather long term approach that ensures even granny can get stuff she wants easily. Technology is meant to make things easier & best practice basically goes a long way to ensure we reach towards this dream. On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 11:35 PM, Lmwangi <lmwangi@gmail.com> wrote:
A simple solution is to bypass your isp cache by using tor. It works! :)

Ashok am waiting for your email so that I can test from my office & pick it up with the provider or we sort it within ourselves. I am sure we can get to the bottom of your case too ?
Great Evening.

Had a similar issue some time back when using an Access Kenya link.
If you use firefox, you can override the cache by pressing
Ctrl-F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R
You might be forced to do this a number of times.
Hope this works.
