In the glorious city of Nizhny Novgorod, there is a much less glorious provider, “By
blah lgaTelecom”, which is known for the quality of its services (you can read and see photos in local forums) and technical support competence (- Hello, I cannot connect to the Internet. - And you are a modem restart, wait for forty minutes, check for viruses, restart your computer. Does not help? Call the wizard ... - You know, I looked here, your server does not respond to the PADR packet, this is clearly a problem on your side. - No, we are fine, causing Call the masters. You call back in 15 minutes - the answering machine: "Dear Internet users, it’s not a niche, we bring our pardon ...")
So what am I talking about? Oh yeah ... Television.
As we know, the TV shows for free (of course about cable is not talking), so we show ads. And the Internet is paid, so ... the provider shows us advertising!
Instead of opening the page to the entered address, a redirect to the advertisement from the provider occurs:

Here is the link:
navigator.nnov.vt.ru/other/information/child/index.php?ourl=http%3A%2F%2Fhabrahabr.ru%2FThis ugliness happens not the first time, which is interesting, what exactly BT doesn’t like is Habr, when visiting other sites this ugliness was not noticed.
As I found out on the nn.ru forum, not only do they “please” me with “useful” information, others have also shown this.

I called by phone “DETAILS (831) 428-18-18”, for 3 minutes I listened to a rattling pryamkan on the piano, which probably should soothe the irritated caller, did not notice the calming effect. To the question with what a fright they show me an advertisement, the girl replied that this offer of the company's services, why the show was not the first time, she could not answer.
I noticed that they have the inscription “FOR FREE TILL 12/31/2010” there, then they are going to make money on this, i.e. they prevent me from using the Internet normally because they want to earn a denyuzhku. So, the question to the respected users:
But do not advise whether the free program with similar functionality?
I want to write about it in a local forum so that users have a free alternative.
I would like to discourage from VT any desire to show such a disgrace in the future.

Disgusting things continue:

I wanted to check mail on google.
