British Telecom: Misleading communication
by Abhishek on August 25, 2010
This is important for us to know that the advertising watchdog in Britain works unlike the Advertising Standards Council of India which is toothless “regulator”. No one gives a fuck to the poor sods who claim “moral high ground”.

I am stuck up because of academic reasons; hence the highly irregular and erratic postings here.
All the more there is nothing “serious” happening over Broadband. Although, Airtel is still crowing about the new “unlimited plans” with Fair Usage Policy.
