email, calendar, reader, picasa, etc..
I know 3UK have a tie in with Yahoo, but this is going a bit too far!

I didn't believe that 3 would be so stupid so I turned on my Nokia
e61, went to the gmail java client, didn't work. So I went to
www.gmail.com – Connection timeout. Then www.yahoo.co.uk just to see
if that worked, it did, then went to www.google.co.uk – Connection
timeout. Then www.yahoo.co.uk to check, that worked.
I think 3 may well just lose another customer because of their utter
shitness.
The irony is that google's search page worked far better on my Nokia
e61's browser than any other. Yahoo's page is a page full of shit
that doesn't even center properly.

I've called and also emailed Three via the website and also emailed the
Xseries Blog, does anyone know a direct email address for Google?
Can everyone who is on 3UK and uses Google, can they either call or email
Customer Services, the more people complaining the more chance we have they
will put it back.
Is Three's Walled Garden returning???????????????????????

I would guess this is a temporary network issue -- it works fine for
me today, although I did have the odd problem yesterday evening.

But they're temporarily blocking only the google websites? Reason?
Is this the return of the Walled Garden?

There were problems accessing google.co.uk from wired connections yesterday.
google.com worked OK.
OTOH this is the sort of thing 3 do all the time...

Well I've managed to get Google back, but at the expense of YahooGo! which
has stopped syncing.
I've setup GMail to fetch my YMail, but I liked my contacts and calendar was
synced remotely in case the phone ever crashed.
Hopefully will start working again.

sounds like a good enough reason not to go for a 3 phone then.
Seems not much has changed in the two years since a colleague at work
(who was a dissatisfied 3 customer) almost went on bended knees to beg
me not to consider a 3 phone ...

As I said originally -- it works fine for me. So, probably nothing
deliberate.

Works fine now. What made you think access was deliberately being blocked by
3?

who says they blocked it? - it's quite common to lose just 1 website due to
routing issues etc.

I could access all google services via a O2 mobile my friend had and 3 where
saying they never had a problem when I called them.
I use Gmail and Reader every minute of the day, so was a bit lost at work
yesterday without it. My current employers PC do not allow me access to
email, but did find out later yesterday that if you login to www.google.com
and switch to igoogle you can add a tab for gmail which gives you the titles
of all emails only and work server denies me access to open them, but reader
works great.
