airtel and net neutrality? dream on.
okay. i’m not a fan of airtel’s ethics. i think we have that established by now. they, obviously, are no fans of mine either.
but this time, they’re just being arseholes. isps across the world have gotten flak for it, but airtel decided to jump on a bandwagon that’s been tipped over several times already. do they not do their research?
rant being over, here’s how their latest rubbish works… when a user types in a web address that doesn’t exist (i’m using AirtelIsRunByRetards.com as an example), your browser should take you to a page that says the web address can’t be found. what airtel has done is this: they take that page and chuck it out the window (ha ha! pun!); and show you their own page, with their own ads, run by a company called “on speed.” well, the r&d team at airtel is definitely on something, but i’m guessing it’s a more malicious drug.
nice work. what’s next? insert their ads into search results? net neutrality, scumbags. look it up.
disclaimer: i don’t normally use internet explorer, but a screenshot about crap deserves a crappy browser. get firefox.
