A 90-year-old man in the US has spent $12,946 on advertisements demanding his internet company fix the service speeds in his neighbourhood.
Aaron Epstein, who lives in North Hollywood in California, claims to have been a customer of telecommunications company AT&T since 1960 - decades before the World Wide Web was even available to the public.
However, in two advertisements published in the Wall Street Journal, he called the company a "major disappointment" in recent years due to its internet speeds.

"Although AT&T is advertising speeds up to 100 MBS (megabytes per second) for other neighborhoods, the fastest now available to us from ATT is only 3 MBS," he wrote.
"Your competitors now have speeds of over 200 MBS."
Mr Epstein told US news outlet Fox29 it was "money well spent".
He said the company had contacted him and had told him they would seek to improve services to the area.
"So I am waiting patiently to see what they can do," Mr Epstein said.
