Minhaj [1:51:27 PM]: Alright sir
masnun [1:52:16 PM]: what?
masnun [1:52:33 PM]: I don’t see anything right here
Minhaj [1:52:51 PM]: This happening because of Data Optimization
Minhaj [1:53:18 PM]: To avoid this Press Ctrl+f5 which will reload the existing page in un-optimized mode & from there onwards the customer will experience the un-optimized mode till the cache of the browser is cleared
masnun [1:53:51 PM]: Do you know my browser?
masnun [1:54:15 PM]: I’m using Google Chrome
masnun [1:54:17 PM]: what do I do?
masnun [1:54:26 PM]: same?

Minhaj [1:55:15 PM]: After that please press Shift + R
masnun [1:55:24 PM]: btw what kind of optimization is this?
masnun [1:55:37 PM]: can you give me details?
masnun [1:55:43 PM]: and why are you doing this?
masnun [1:56:21 PM]: and what do I do with Firefox?
Minhaj [1:57:22 PM]: This is a provision given to the customer if the customer feels that the image quality needs to be improved or the image needs to be downloaded, which is right now a website specific provision & may not work for all the web pages. But this provision will be applicable for all the web pages as the development is in progress.
masnun [1:57:52 PM]: You gave me wrong shortcut
masnun [1:58:45 PM]: It’s Ctrl + Shift + R for Google chrome
masnun [1:58:59 PM]: no need for Ctrl + F5
Minhaj [2:00:04 PM]: Alright sir
masnun [2:00:29 PM]: what do I have to do in Firefox and IE?
masnun [2:01:26 PM]: ok found on FF
masnun [2:01:35 PM]: same Ctrl + Shift + R
Minhaj [2:01:53 PM]: Please press Shift + R, then refresh the page
masnun [2:02:33 PM]: on IE9 beta
masnun [2:02:40 PM]: just Ctrl + R works
masnun [2:02:53 PM]: sorry

Conclusion:
Grameen Phone has included some sort of data optimization. It loads low quality image by default. You need to use the following keyboard shortcuts to get rid of the low quality images:
You need to clear your cache to remove the old images in the cache. First clear it. Then use the shortcut.
IE9 Beta: Ctrl + F5
Google Chrome 6: Ctrl + Shift + R
Firefox 3.6.8: Ctrl + Shift + R
If you again clear your cache, you will be getting low quality images. So whenever you clear the cache, do hit the shortcut as well 😀

so, GP is now controlling and watchdog-ing our data.
long been I’ve been having a vibe that, GP has all the great ideas to un-attract internet customers. I guess they really need to cut their GPRS/EDGE client count.
Good job GP, u s__k
i’ve tried the shortcuts.. and got clear image in one page.. but when i open a new tab to go on other page (specially in facebook)….. the same low quality image…
