Telkom Simple ADSL package: ASA complaint
Telkom Simple promises free calls. Are these claims misleading?
nothing is free from telkom...Originally Posted by jes
8 minutes into a 10 minute infomercial, that is quite long. Do people watch infomercials for that long?
Engineering - this is where the semi-skilled workers realize the work of better minds. Hello, Oompah-Loompahs of science.
Who in their right mind would sit through a 10-minute informercial from Telkom?
I find this more misleading then the Vodacom advert or is it just me?
I think only people in hospital would watch it.
It's true that before we die, our life passes before our eyes. It's called living.
Telkom has money to blow I see...
Why would someone complain without having seen the whole ad?
"It's Legendary wait for it ....dary!!!"
A Captive Audience, just like in the movie theatres.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Thats a pretty good deal.
What about the "FAST Internet" bit? Especially since it's their slowest offering available.
As one becomes more specialised one tends to be less generally understood and more commonly misunderstood.
What about the "Fast Internet" part.
Surely thats rubbish, this is a 384k ADSL after all.
Darn it we posted at the exact same time........great minds.
It looks like ASA screwed up again...
Here's what the product info on the website says:
"FREE CALLS
Free calls to Telkom numbers, local and long-distance, up to an hour per call. Applicable 7pm to 7am Monday to Friday and all weekend."
THAT'S NOT ALL LANDLINES!!! CALLS TO NEOTEL LANDLINES (CURRENTLY ABOUT 5% OF ALL LANDLINES) FROM TELKOM ARE NEVER FREE.
Who wants to submit this to the ASA again?
"You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes..."
yaa, I was also supposed to get 'free' calls on my ADSL line... of course there are terms and conditions that I only found out too late.... only myself to blame :-)
At the end of the game, the King and the pawn go back into the same box
and guys in jail... nowhere to go
