Why is it lies?
They are not saying you can download the internet with a 1gb account.
They are saying you can play games, download, skype etc. Not a lie it is exactly what you can do.

Remember back in the days, when downloading meant getting the latest VLC player or Firefox browser etc. It was called downloading back then and still is.
You can do all the above with 1GB; although with a bit more self restraint than we're used to nowadays.
I don't know about this particular ad, but I particularly hate ads that conflate the cap with the linespeed; like the one I've heard on the radio before that goes something like: "Get superfast 1gig ADSL for only R169/month!" I think somebody needs to take up one of these offers & then take them to ASASA when it turns out they don't really have a 1gig linespeed.
Fine ... you do all those things once a month you should be ok....
banking website usage: 50mb's worth at most
school projects: wikipedia and other text encyclopedia's: 200mb
skype: 50mb (text only)
gaming: 300mb (luxor & other popcap game downloads, online chess, flash games, etc)
and that's 600mb. it's doable.
just because they say "skype" doesn't mean HD Video Calling to South Tokyo....
so that leaves 400mb for more intensive gaming like Starcraft, WoW, etc...
1/2 Hours game or MW2 and you used up those 400meg lol, Like the other person said you can do those things only once
