Not only did MWEB recently screw over their entire uncapped subscriber base, and tie canceling customers into one or sometimes two months notice, but they're now using that as a new marketing tool as well. This must be one of the most distasteful advertising campaigns I have ever come across...

MWEB, you have well and truly emancipated yourselves from your own customers, and you will not win back any sort of brand loyalty for a long time to come. It would take something extraordinary, and if recent history is anything to go by, your only extraordinary moves these days are backwards...
 
1) Take away something that we had before, and charge the same price.
2) Introduce another product without the recently imposed restrictions, and charge more.
3) ????
4) Profit!
 
Hey, are you really pissed off that we unilaterally changed the terms and conditions of your agreement with us to punish you for using our network on a basis we will not disclose, and made cancellation an expensive and lengthy process to appeal to the apathetic side of you?!

Well prepare to be blown away! Just pay us more money now for the same product you had before, and we promise (no, really this time we really do. You can come to our offices and someone will even pinky promise with you) that we won't change the terms and conditions again to make our already profitable business more profitable. Unless Derek says we have to again. But we promise to try to keep our promise. Pinky promise clause does not apply.

But wait, if you order now, we'll give you one month free, subsidised of course by our ex clients who we convinced to pay one to two months notice. ROFL. We all win.

So stay on hold for 30 minutes to speak to one of our 8 ex drug addicts we recently employed directly from pollsmoor, to take advantage of this special offer, where we get to fsck you in the arse, spread the story on social media, and sell the movie rights to the highest bidder.

Happy interneting. We're watching you...

I noticed the date afterwards, but it's still up on their page. It is false advertising.

The thread is satirical as per the latest post, but they're still going around marketing themselves like that.

I have no doubt that given half a chance, they'd happily undergo a similar marketing campaign...
 
Can you post the full URL? I can't find it on their Facebook 'homepage'.

Reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ilMx7k7mso
 
It must be noted that the ad is from 2012, prior to the recent nonsense, so the thread is satirical. It is however still on their page and is now becoming popular. One would have expected a decent company with foresight to have removed it...
