The end of an era..
In the ActiveWords Odyssey, I have worked just about everywhere there is Wi-Fi, and that means lots of Starbucks, Kinko’s and Borders.
However in recent months T-Mobile lost the Starbucks account to ATT. What’s the impact? Now the WiFi sux at Starbucks!
I cannot imagine that smart companies would let this happen. The concept of a 3rd office, e.g. home, work and Starbucks is one almost pioneered by Starbucks.
Over the last week I have had endless problems trying to log in. And if you call T-Mobile tech support their responses demonstrate a new level of cluelessnes.
What are they thinking?
Alas…
There is NO t-mobile access in ANY Starbucks in Manhattan right now. I pay $30 a month for t-mobile hotspot access. I called t-mobile and they acknowldged the NYC-wide outage and gave me a $5 credit and assured me that I would be able to use t-mobile in Starbucks in Manhattan within a week.
Not happy.
