What do you think about it?The BT adverts are based on a nuclear family group, and each advert , has a problem, or an occurrence with some form of technology, and then the narrator, or Voice of god, speaks over the advert and describes how the BT Home Hub can discard those problems that occur in the advert, and resolve them.

BT makes the customer aware of the product by having, for example, in
BT - Broadband, the advert creates desire by making the customer think that he would be a good father, and be providing his family with the BT Home Hub, and being wireless broadband, creates the feeling you can go anywhere, and still have wireless broadband.
What is the overall strategy for communicating that message?In this BT campaign strategy used is humour, which is used in the "costs a fortune" gag line.
