At no point (unless they change it today) has the website, FAQ or fine print ever noted that the winnings would be donated to charity....
I just went to the front page of the auction site and it says it is for Habitat for Humanity right in the middle of the page.

Re: ugh

That was just added like an hour ago after three weeks of people bidding tens of thousands of dollars.

Ok, if thats the case then I am surprised. I thought people weren't that dumb, but obviously they are to bid that high on unlimited broadband.

Actually, when this article was posted, I checked out the site and I easily found the habitat for humanity link so I was wondering what was going on.

Re: ugh

Gotcha, yeah I've been watching it for weeks, and as of this morning when I wrote it the link wasn't there...it was added with a link to today's press release sometime after my article went up.

I think they might have noticed the hits coming from our site making light of the auction...and realized that they need to shore up on the PR front.

The PR nightmare this will become is worse than their stock price. Pull up a chair, pop some corn, chill your favorite beverage and enjoy the show.
