A Brickbat ...

... for T-Mobile.

Who, when my 'phone (and hence my mobile internet connection) completely stopped working today after a couple of weeks of being unreliable, refused to allow me an early upgrade despite the fact that my upgrade date is only 18 days away and despite my forthcoming separation from my family.

I wonder if Sir Ranulph Fiennes has to put up with this sort of mindless corporate obstructiveness?

(Actually, I've read his books and I know the answer. He does. Copiously!)

Ah, well. I signed a contract. T-Mobile is within its rights. What's one more ex-customer?
