Here is my opinion. Lets exclude mo since it is absolute full internet and there aint any port blocking involved in it. Now lets consider the other gprs plans . . . Airtel live and nop. Both of them use the same ip address and the same port 8080. So i assume that the port 8080 is always open regardless of the gprs plan. The only thing the Airtel server gotta do is to check the url of the Airtel live subscribers to see if the url is pointing outside their portal and then send the access denied page. So i believe the firewall has nothin to do here. Besides firewall are foolproof and cannot be hacked by pooling excess traffic. They work in a sequential manner and extra traffic would be queued and dealt with sequentially. So i believe the problem gotta be with the Airtel proxy which checks the url. Alternately this type of error could be caused if any of the Airtel servers or proxies relies on UDP protocol rather than TCP for its communication.
This is my opinion guys but am still uncertain. . .

I think you are getting very lower speed. To be able to login to the messengers, you should have atleast 30kbps. How much signal you get from Airtel tower(BST)? & where u have checked the gprs speed(I mean in which site?) I think you know the difference b/w kbps & KBps

I think u r lucky as u get net through mms APN. Please note that the 115kbps is not the connection speed. Its the port speed. If u are getting 4-5KBps then its normal. Please multiply the speed u r getting with 8. That will give u speed in "kbps". By the way, have u configured the proxy settings in messengers? Yahoo has bug which cause problems in IE. So delete all cookies and try again.

@Alan,
Talking about solutions for Airtel, if it was me to find one, I would have simply seperated the LIVE! and MO server....
If they use another server for LIVE!, which runs a web server s/w on it and having all the contents of LIVE! stored on its HDD(we know, it's not much), there wont be any need for the real Internet connected to that server. Once there is no internet connection on Live! server, what ever we do, we gets only the contents of Live!, may be free downloads if we hack onto it....
