Yeah - I was tempted to comment:

I know of one idiot ISP that signed up!

It becomes more and more obvious that BT did very little research before comitting themselves to this...

Probably a poor analogy but when being interviewed about his addiction to sex by Jonathan Ross, when asked the question "Do you take precautions?" Russel Brand answered:

"Well yes, first I make doubly sure that it is a woman, then I'm straight in there!"

BT obviously went straight in and omitted to make the most fundamental of checks first...
