Bigpond is a real company, though, and my father has adsl with them. They're crap. Who knows - it might be real, it might not - they'd certainly put out a stupid ad like that if anyone would ;D

It could be. The source where I found it seemed to think it was real, but who knows?
I don't think any company has any monopoly on stupidity!
