This website was created to be seen on screen in a commercial for ntl: Broadband.

For this ad entitled 'Dud Directions', 2 separate sets of parents are lost on their way to an Elvis memorabilia auction. The Broadband parents phone their daughter, who gives them directions from this 'Maptastic' website. The dial-up parents call their son to do the same, have to end the conversation to let their son use the internet, then have to wait for him to dial-up, can't call him back... Meanwhile, the Broadband parents have already got there and have bid on the prized items!

"Why does this dial up connection take so long?"

The website in use on set.
The slow dial-up version of the site uses animated images to simulate the slow download.

"It's ok Dad, I've got a map"
- the broadband version is nice and fast!

The route to take - easy with Broadband!!
