Orange launches revolutionary piece of shit mobile data rates for UK

Read it and weep (as reported by Businessweek):

Orange in the UK is also tweaking its Pay As You Consume standard, per MB rate. Orange Business Services customers who will see the standard rate reduced from £3.50 per MB for data cards and £4.50 per MB for handsets, to £2.55 per MB for both data cards and handsets. Pay Monthly customers will also see prices fall from £8 per MB to £3 per MB; and Pay as You Go customers will see prices fall from £8 per MB to £4 per MB.

Kill me now.

Oh, and they’ve reduced roaming to some other piece of shit rubbish crap rate that is still stupid. Next. Don’t care. Byee.

    agree orange are total b****. will try and keep this short. phone went whilst under warranty. they refused to replace it. went bust again with same fault. refused to replace it and refused to repair it unless i paid £15. even admitted it was same fault. not to mention the fact that they have replaced working sony software with none functioning orange software. roll on august when i can tell them where to stick there over-priced contract, piss poor customer service and their shit phone software.
  • It doesn't matter what it costs - you won't be able to use it anyway: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/21/orange_...
  • Orange have already lost my custom because of their ridiculous data packages..... I wonder how many others will follow suit.......
  • Ha! I went in to the Orange shop on Market Street in Manchester last week to see what the N82 Black looked like up close. Of course, a sales assistant asked if he could help. I thought I'd ask about data (even though I know they're shit for data). He said "You can add unlimited data for £8"). "Wow!" I thought. "Maybe they've just launched a new tariff today that I haven't heard about"!

    "Is it it really unlimited?" I asked. I'd have bought an N82 there and then if he'd have said yes. "Well, it's limited to 30MB per month" he sheepishly replied.

    I laughed and walked out.
  • that is totally ridiculous but a super demonstration of realities with
    Orange, Martin!
