MWEB Ad - Advertising Standards Authority

[matt156]

Does anyone know how to submit a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority?

I think the new Mweb ad for their 1GB HARD CAPPED service and the "surf all you want for R145" should be reported and shutdown.

I think it should be a general complaint about all the bandwidth providers. All of them are advertising their 24/7 products as "surf as much as you like (but we'll cap yo' a$$)"

Which is defintely misleading

 

[micang]

Very true doobiwan, it is extremely misleading, especially for the not so technically minded people.

 

[matt156]

I've lodged a complaint. Scummy bastards

 

[micang]

I have a friend who lodged a complaint to them about Telkom too. They also advertise surfing, downloading 24/7......

Ja well if you see light at the end of the tunnel you are looking at the wrong end

 

[micang]

But that's the light of the Telkom train bringing us much joy!

If by "train", you mean "di*k" and by "joy", you mean "pain", then you're right on!

Dang, my "code" has been intercepted!!

Yes guys make use of that link provided by micang, they reply very quickly, the more of us complaining the merrier. Put these money hungry bastards in their place.
We should start our own 'Fight CLub' and go blow up some buildings and institutes!!!
Mr Dirten...?
