Apparently, Its a pi$$take out of Tiscali Broadband in Europe. Try a search on Google for 'Tisp' and look at the results. What do you find??

look at some of these comments. Some are hilarious:

Somehow, I always think that Broadband/Internet will always cost.

Re: Wut's the Catch??

I wonder how good a business would be if you offered free internet for life but you had to pay a £100 connection fee and £100 for the modem to start with then £5 to keep it thereafter.

Easy: client base re all providers would zoom to the stars....and then they would all file 4 chapter 11.....before totally crashing.

Business model foundation is package deals....digital cable TV, digital phone, broadband.

I only have broadband....but also V shrewed, they get U addicted with (in my case) full year at indtroductory price....thennnn they get serious. I am girding in anticipation of that.

But objectively....wut it costs tohardwire an 18 story building like mine....and nothing gets done heah unless it is done perfectly....and 2 maintain all that....serious money.
