Don't see why that should be connected, but you never know crazy

Only other thing I can think of- Google ad settings?

Been playing in there and it is saying Daisy Communications (Who are supplying the BB via Vivaciti) is connecting via Greece...

As you can see - Google thinks I live in Greece! Or at the least it's my "Location".

If I click the link I gave it takes me to a page where I can set my language preference- it may be that the default is what it thinks is your location.

But it uses cookies it finds on my machine, so it may not take you to the same place. Any problem with deleting any Google-based cookies you have and trying my link again?

But you say here that your phone is OK on the mobile signal, which probably is giving a different location, and if your language preference hasn't been explicitly set on any of the other devices they'll likely be using the default when you connect via your ISP.

It seems to make sense to me, whether it's correct is another matter entirely!

Yep - Mobile signal is fine... it's when I'm using my wifi.

Did a full reset - cleared the cookies, turned adblock off again...

Apt lol.

Oh and this changed 1-2 weeks ago out the blue. Never used to.

But did you change your language preference to English in Google?

If you did then apologies... but it means one thing is certain- I'm stuck frown

It's 100% English. I have also Opted out all the ad's too.

It's more annoying that Google Play for instance comes up in Greek as a site... or sections of the site. Most odd.

Seems to me you have 2 options left:

a) persuade your ISP not to do silly routing

b) Learn Greek.

Good luck...
