    hehe, thought it was a joke advert when a friend of mine msg'ed it to me

    Good going Esat!!!
    does this mean Eircom are going to sue Esat for satire, like they do to everyone else? :D

    Now if they'd just do a TV advert using the same theme :D

    Would be classic and would really get people talking.

    Would certainly make the average joe think about wtf there using there Eircom account still.

    LOL, very nice. The more people realise just how bad €ircon are the better and it really doesn't matter how this is accomplished, through satire etc.
    Nice to see a company like Esat BT taking aim. As big as €ircom are they are not in the same league as BT, hopefully this will inject some much needed impetus into our flacid internet infrastructure.

    I thought Comparative advertising wasn't allowed in this country. Thats why you allways see Brand X used in the washing powder ads.
    Its only in America that you see the Coke versus Pepsi ads.

    Waste of bandwidth! Just as bad as Eircon's rat. Whoever created the .gif could have just as easily placed a squished rat below the IOL anvil in the last frame; and dumped the rest of the sh!te. They still would have got the point home, too. Budgetary concerns I suppose. Each to their own. :-/
