Default Cannot Connect to the Internet with Stock Browser

Yesterday I flashed Paul's excellent Sense 2.2 ROM and overall have been really pleased with it so far but have been experiencing one fairly large issue.

I am on Virgin Mobile UK and couldn't for the life of me get a 3G or HSDPA connection. This morning I manually added APN settings, which allowed me to get a 3G connection. I can now connect to the Internet over 3G (though not HSDPA) in apps such as XDA, Google Maps, Seesmic etc. however the stock browser cannot connect at all.

There's nothing in the settings which I can find to fix this so it would be great if anyone knew what the problem was.

I reverted to 'Default' settings which were not present in the first place. For some reason the stock browser decided to work an hour after reverting the settings, though the Android Market is now extremely slow and takes a couple of minutes just to start a download.

APN: general.t-mobile.co.uk
Proxy: <Not set>

I thought I should be connecting to Virgin and I am as a Network operator, though it defaults with a data connection to T-Mobile, without Virgin even appearing to select.

Both from the manual Virgin APN settings and the T-Mobile 'default' settings I have been getting the same result. Trying any other operator APN settings doesn't work at all, though. Perhaps Virgin and T-Mobile both use the same system or something?
