As I (Alex) mentioned in a post a few days ago, I’ve been moving house. Been out on the road a lot the past few days, which has given me a chance to really hammer my T-Mobile Web’n’Walk/Flext account.
It’s been utter shite. No really, totally crap. My E61 seems to spend most of its time flipping between 3G and GSM, and promptly breaking the data connection everytime. I’ve had full reception but got a text saying there’ve been a load of missed calls from people. Calls have dropped out and then refused to reconnect for at least five minutes.
In the past four or so days I’ve had duplicate texts both received by me and people I’ve texted, some 2-3 hours apart – but exactly the same message.
I’m currently posting this blog in my new abode via an apparently 3G connection – whilst I sort out a broadband hookup. Alas, it’s not 3G speed. To be honest I’ve seen 56K dialup faster. Network congestion? Get outta here, it’s gone midnight on a Friday night/Saturday morning. Reckon many people are using data in the area? I doubt it.
And finally.. I can’t use MSN/Windows Live Messenger, or even the official Web Messenger or clones, as T-Mobile have decided I’m under 18 and shouldn’t be allowed to use such terribly lewd ‘adult’ services – which it reckons they are. Myspace is on that list too, as is Facebook. I wouldn’t mind so much but it’s a business account registered to a limited company and I have asked at least twice for it to be sorted.
Head, bang, wall. Might go check out what Three have to offer over the weekend.
