Yeah, its insane and personally I wouldn't join them even if they were 
cheaper on principle (they aren't cheaper for non-metro anyway).

Also apparently the person who is supposed to be their head of ADSL 
seems to be a rather distasteful human being (judging from his posts on 
Whirlpool (which he was consequently banned from) - and posts on 
Swiftel's own forum).  Not to mention that certain people have pointed 
out that he's allegedly been with several IT&T companies in managerial 
roles that are no longer with us (e.g. Osborne Computers, One.Tel, iGreen).
