Somebody at Ferrit has been watching too many Ali G shows, this is a
pretty poor Borat rip off.

'crap' is a good title for it. I wouldn't go near ferrit on principle,
adverts like that reinforce my stand. Like the TV "Xtraordinaries" ads.
Total alienation of a large part of the intended market.

I hate telecom (and the power companies come to think of it).They are
corrupt monopolies.

Whenever I have an ability to avoid telecom I do so.

Unfortunately, I cannot avoid their phone line/adsl since it is the best
service and I need it for work. Fingers crossed , naked dsl /unbundling is
comig.

So, I spit on their website.

What amazes me is that you read the Herald without an adblock running.
