http://www.yourtechstuff.com/techwire/2009/05/perlico-a-textbook-example-of-a-misleading-broadband-ad.html These ads should be banned, broadband does not cost E6, in fact in really costs E46. Where is the truth in advertising? In this case "if it's good for the goose then it's good for the gander"

Sounds rather misleading alright...

Didn't Ryanair get taken to court over ads in the newspaper for displaying prices without fees and charges a few years ago? Something like that?

Sailing close to the wind, when it comes to the Consumer Protection Act. I'd say Perlico might want to make sure they're not breaking the law on misleading advertising.

The Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland (www.asai.ie) or the National Consumer Agency (www.consumerconnect.ie) would be the people to approach if you felt it was misleading advertising and wanted to file a complaint.
