Its just like any sales person. The minute they smell blood in the water they'll sell you anything. Common sense and morals are optional when it comes to some salespeople.

There were times when sales in Ntl would set up pensioners with 1Meg broadband (at the time top of the range) if the mentioned they had a computer which they used every few days to send e-mails to family. No mention was ever made of the dialup or 150k service to them.

If you want to look at really ridiculous IT purchasing decisions have a look at any government IT project in the last 10-15 years!
