I feel a rant coming on

The package which almost cost me one of two working thumbs contained these things. They were sent to me by Vodafone. The guy said “this will increase your broadband speed.” Complete piffle. These are the bits of hardware necessary for activating Apple TV. Of course you have to sign up and after a while you have to pay. I didn’t ask for Apple TV. I don’t want Apple TV. But the things look quite cool, so maybe I can turn them into attractive ornaments or hang them on the (yet to be responsibly sourced) Christmas tree.
   Since renewing my contract last week. I've had 12 'no reply' emails from Vodafone. Ridiculous.
