BLOODY GOOD SHOW....YOU SHOULD SUE THE BUGGERS FOR EVERY LAST PENNY SO THAT EVEN THEIR GRAND CHILDREN WILL BE PAYING IT OFF...TEACH THE ASSES A LESSON NOT TO MESS WITH THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENS
This is claimed on a personal basis and everybody who are upto denying the rights of the pulic watch out for more than this.
I hope the media secretary/SLRC/TRC and the CID along with Mr.SHITNET make note of this and the general pulic and the subscribers will be 100% behind this agrivated party in their endevour to protect customer rights and abide by the law of the country.
