I should have made myself clear.
I despise any advertising that suggests that you actually get more than the product can actually give you. I do not believe, for instance, that using BT Infinity or any other high speed broadband product can give you a virtually orgasmic shopping experience. I abhor advertising that suggests that you can be happy to the point of having a permanently fixed inane grin or be sexually fulfilled surrounded by people frantic to be your friend or lover. It is all lies wrapped up in a pseudo art form. All that cash and talent wasted on telling lies about products is one of the biggest scandals of our times.
Yes people do believe that crap or they wouldn't keep on dishing it out and passing advertising costs on to us.
Just tell us what the product does please. eg. You can get on average 92.84Mb on our up to 100Mb product. OR Our home hub is pretty good at avoiding interference, but you may still get some at times. OR Our fibre optic product is excellent for responsive gaming most of the time.
Let the product speak for itself, warts and all.
By the way, I did complain to BT some years ago about their BT Vision product. They didn't and still don't stand a chance of giving anyone on demand TV or any kind of viewable TV down a copper wire, unless all other household internet usage was put on hold during viewing time. I complained so much they suggested I try a different ISP, so I did.
I'm done ranting.
