I am a shark!

Thanks Mark for the unexpected post on ispreview, especially :-

"Suffice to say that the call reminded us a little bit of those scenes in Jaws ™ where the shark (Adrian) relentlessly picks off the crew of Quint’s vessel (Virgin), most of which are left to hopelessly flail about in an attempt to fight the inevitable truth of their demise; except in this version not even Brody survives."

    I know all of these sounds totally ridiculous, however, WHATEVER reason the ASA allowed "fibre" broadband to be described as indiscriminately as it is cannot stand.
    I believe the dumbing down of technology in effect "dumbs" down the consumer even further.
