Orange down in Brighton, Web site = no login, orange rep couldn't care less

Orange has been down in Brighton for hours now, The web site says "we
are experiencing difficulties" when you try and log in, Telephoning
orange o enquire when it's gonna be up again, rep says "dunno!", asking
why the web site won't allow log ins "dunno", The guy couldn't have
given less of a shit if he'd hung up. We have 3 orange phones in this
house, Well **** you Orange, on monday I'm cancelling all of them and
moving to Vodaphone where you get a far superior signa. Having been an
orange customer for 5+ years I've had enough.

I have a life, a mobile is a nice to have, but doesn't stop me functioning.

Grow up!!

If you run a business from your mobile, it does stop you from functioning.
No phone calls = no work = no money.

If you run a business, any business, you plan for things like a lack of
a phone, or transport, or staff or anything otherwise you go bust. It's
a form of natural selection and it works.

Any good business will not rely on just one form of communication.
Customers will be given a choice of alternative methods. No company that is
properly registered with companies house will use just a mobile, they will
have a landline. People often avoid companies using just a mobile,
especially if they have no alternative method of contact. The mobile
companies do state in the contract that is read, understood and signed to
that effect by the customer that the service should not be relied upon for
certain things. So using the excuses often given to claim compensation in a
slow month might not work.

Some businesses depend on phones. How do you plan for a lack of mobile
phone coverage..? A second phone on a different network..? Perhaps, but
then how do your customers know which to call..?
