Criza in Romania, editie speciala: cumparaturi de sarbatori

Ne pare rau, dar emisiunea „Criza in Romania” va fi reprogramata incepand cu 6 ianuarie 2009, cand vom reveni cu stirile obisnuite despre disponibilizari, falimente, recesiune, viata tot mai grea a romanilor si scaderea puterii de cumparare a acestora. Momentan toti invitatii nostri sunt plecati la cumparaturi, pe motiv de „vine Craciunul si trebuie sa cheltui toti banii pe care ii am pe mancare si diverse prostioare inutile, la anul vad eu ce fac!” si „oficial imi merge bine”! Kaufland, duminica 21 decembrie, ora 10:00. Imi era jena sa ma prezint la casa de marcat doar cu o paine, doua beri si o sticla de suc, dar am reusit sa imi inving timiditatea fata de carucioarele arhipline. In jumatate de ora am reusit sa achit produsele ( stiu, e incredibil ) si in 15 minute am iesit din parcarea la fel de arhiplina.

I’m a client of Romania Data Systems home user branch. I use PPPoE to connect to their service. Yesterday I noticed that the first HTTP request made after connecting is redirected to an ad for their accompanying phone service. After throwing a fit and going off on a rant about violation of privacy and abuse, I changed my DNS servers to another ISP’s, thinking that it was a DNS redirect. Well, it wasn’t, after reconnecting I still get the ad when I load the first page. I tried complaining, but that didn’t do much. Some other clients filed a complaint with the Romanian equivalent of your Better Business Bureau, but everyone doubts this will have effect. I feel raped. 🙁 Could this even be legal? Take the following hypothesis: you connect to their service and type up their competitor’s URL, and their own phone service ad comes on. That CAN’T be honest advertising. Anyway, wrapping this up, what should I do? Was thinking about buying a Relakks account and routing all my traffic through that. But paying extra isn’t really all that inviting to me. Changing ISPs also isn’t a real option as the ISPs here are an oligopoly, they divided up their turf and this is the only ISP that offers a decend broadband plan around where I live. And I fear this is only the beginning. UPDATE: Other connections DO work, it seems my not being able to SSH to an outside box was a one-time thing. But…
