I am using Aircell internet in Pune, internet works pretty well except SSL, secured sites just wont open.
I have tried all the browsers (IE,FF,Chrome) have tried enabling SSL 3.0 in FF and resetting the web settings of IE, hv also triedby googling around, and resetting NETSH, FLUSHDNS, etc. but nothing worked.
I cant access any mail (yahoo, gmail, facebook,etc).

When I try Secured sites on firefox it gives following message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

* The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

Kindly help if u guys have any solutions.
