Yes T-Mobile I am aware I have gone over my Fair Use Policy[1].

Yes I am aware this means that between the hours of four PM and midnight you will only allow me to use your network via the HTTP protocol.

Yes I do know that this will only last until the start of the next calendar month.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REDIRECT ME TO A PAGE DETAILING THIS EVERY FIFTH OR SIXTH REQUEST[2] TO INFORM ME OF THIS.

I wouldn't mind if they did it, say, the first request after 4pm, or the first request every browser session. For that matter, it wouldn't be so very intrusive if the "Please click to continue browsing" actually allowed you to, say continue browsing - ie, forwarded you to the page you originally requested - rather than just presenting a nigh-sarcastic "Oh thanks bye" message and forcing you to find your own way back to the page you actually want to see, which can be a chore since (having been redirected away from it) the page doesn't actually appear in your browser history.

I know they want to discourage people from going over their FUP (as, by definition, this suggests you have not been Using it Fairly), but this manner of inept and intrusive notification is not only irritating in the extreme but also puts the lie to their own Policy's insistence that "you´ll continue to be able to browse the web and use web-based email accounts". At any moment while using these services you may find your service interrupted and - for example - the email you were composing lost to the ether.

SORT IT OUT T-MOBILE.

[1] See previous posts. It's not a Fair Use Allowance, or "The bandwidth specified under our Fair Use Policy", or anything such. In some way, the amount of bandwidth you are allowed in some way is the Fair Use Policy.
[2] Actually it seems to be more or less arbitrary - though it is likely related to time (say, once a minute) or some other less transparent internal system variable. Actually, it would probably be more acceptable if it was in some way predictable.

Does HTTPS work? If so you can tunnel.

email the MD with a copy of this, you'll be surprised what they don't know about.

Contacts are on the website.
