Come on? "Absolutely no usage limits". It's insulting. Just to add also, I'm not taking from the absolutely amazingly advanced rollout they are doing. It's world-class stuff, in fact world-beating stuff, but just a bit of honesty dealing with the punters on the marketing side would be good also if they want to really change their spots.

There should be a link between the headline ‘Unlimited’ claim and the reference to the FUP. In this case the marketing communication was on the advertisers’ website and while there was a link provided to the ‘terms and conditions’ at the end of the webpage, this was below the fold, not contained within the marketing communication and not immediately apparent to consumers. In addition, there was no specific reference to a FUP within the Marketing Communication.
In the absence of a response from the advertisers and the fact that they had failed to demonstrate that they had clearly identified the existence of their fair usage policy, the Committee considered the advertisement to be in breach of Sections 4.1, 4.4 and 4.9 of the Code. The advertisement should not be used in the same format again.

The preparation work needed really is incredible. Putting the fibre on the poles is probably the easiest and quickest part of the process.
