Remember the bad old days of dial up modems? Remember how people used to get their browsers hijacked so that premium rate dialer’s were installed on their computers, and started connecting to premium rate lines in the Caribbean?
This is all some time ago now, as the introduction of broadband (ADSL) gave un-metered access, and there was no possibility of routing the service via another (premium rate) one.
