OK (menus) --> Browser (the globe) --> Browser settings --> No internet --> Save

What happens now is when you click on either Bigpond or Foxtel you get the message "service unavailable" Admittedly Bigpond is now no longer charging for it's opening page BUT I have been given to understand that Foxtel does. All functions even email will still work but if you want to go to either Foxtel or Bigpond all you have to do is go to Browser again and select TESTRA INTERNET and Save it
