The man has got integrity, and he knows if his product doesn't work ultimately it's going to fail.. He is the leader in the business.

All English_Ca traffic is coming from CA (Canada) and english
language set in browser. However, there are few languages could be
set in browser, for example FR (French) and EN (english)

We do not guarantee "Primary" language, but we do guarantee,
that language is exists at browser settings.

We have tested our traffic with $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] string
and the results are below:

As you can see, sometimes strings could contain fr,-fr-fr;q=0.8, en-us, etc
Notice how they sent me french traffic??? i.e. that the primary language was FRENCH and not ENGLISH??? There were others.. 8%-10% of the traffic was NOT primarily english speaking... Having bought "English language from Canada", I was expecting to get ENGLISH.

Dear Customer,

Our geo combo niches resell traffic by geo-location and language.

We can't guarantee that requested English language will be primary
at browser settings. But we do guarantee that english language is
added to browser languages.

If you was not satisfied with a traffic received, as you expected
english as a primary language, please stop your orders and let
us know according to your stats, how much we should refund you for
hits with primary language not english.

Please note, we will refund this amount only once, refund
will not apply to your possible future purchases.

If you need an option to purchase primary english hits only, please
let us know, we will probably setup this option.
So there you go.. They know what they're doing... The fix is so freakin easy it's a joke that they don't implement it.

The way they have it implemented should indicate to anyone that if you're buying a specific language, you're not getting 100% THAT language and only that language.
