Unfortunately the provider knows about it but it sounds like they have no intention of fixing the problem with their femtocells any time soon...

...however this answers my question perfectly, so thank you. I may investigate automatically enabling Wi-Fi when coming into range of this cell ID which might get around the problem.

Thanks for your help!
