I can use Frontpage extensions on BigPond. Is there a fix?
One issue not widely known about BigPond Advance is that we all get web access via a proxy server. It is referred to as a Transparent Proxy because there are no manual browser configurations for it, so it effectively exists in an invisible form. Optus has the same thing, as do most ISPs in one form or another. This proxy has both good and bad points. The good is that it should effectively reduce our browsing and download times and also reduce the ISP’s bandwidth costs which in turn, get passed on to us. The bad is that some applications, like Frontpage Extensions, just can’t work around it without being configured for it.
