I had pretty much the same experience with Virgin Mobile last year (passwords limited to 6 digits, no brute force protection). I finally told the guy I got escalated to that if they didn't do anything I'd call the NY Times, Consumerist, Gawker, CNET, Ars, etc and tell them about it.
They didn't do anything, so I sent around the article and pretty much every publication I sent it to ran with it. After that they took down the login page for about nine hours and brought it back up with brute force protection.
