ASA Upholds Half of Complaints made about Ads of Virgin Media
 
Virgin Media has been taken to task by ad regulators over 10 separate adverts.

The complaints centred on three separate national press adverts, a leaflet, a TV ad and a radio advert.

BT complained that the first newspaper advert said that Virgin's fibre optic broadband is twice as fast as that of BT. BT bitched that this ignored its Infinity service.

Have not Ofcom got anything better do do because for a start they could look into Skys dominant monopolistic market power on several fronts and as for BT well its rather petty.
