Telkom adverts P-me off

[SHVAK]

Okay what is the deal with Telkom continiously bombarding our TV with your line spead will be so fast crap.
You know the one with the kids in the roller coaster that soars into space.
Its a new campaign but they have introduced nothing new?
Their connections are the same speed they have always been.
So anyone know what gives?
Can we expect something new?

yeah they lie. I mentally switch off when telkom's ads come on because I know they're bull.

Especially that one with the fishing boat and the crewman videoconferencing to his pregnant wife in hospital. Perfect full screen video with choppy sound, that never happens like that... Took me months to figure out it was actually a telkom advert, and proved to me how far out of touch they were with reality.

They suck, they sell job public right down the river.

I really hate going to the cinemas because they always play that crap advert with the kids in the playground.

As I said before on other threads. Report it to the ASA (advertising standards authority) that its false. If you lay a formal complaint they will have to officially answer and if you win they will have to withdraw it. Here are some examples of cases that were brought before the ASA

[InTheCube]

Jeeez.... I'm really out of tune with TV. I mostly watch movies and series from my external HD... Haven't seen or heard anything you guys talk about...

They probably pay a media "mining" type company to do it for them!

No but their are some people on here with insider information that know what's cutting. They obviously cannot speak from a official standpoint.
