I've checked the BT advert and it does mention the 50p per min charge.

So I'd like to know the point of advertising why 2million BT customers enjoy paying for their broadband because they wont have to pay 50p a min support costs when if you DONT pay for broadband you also wont have to pay a 50p a min support cost either.

Also the advert fails in another sense - ie. those 2 million BT customers only enjoy paying for broadband because probably 99% signed up when paid for broadband was the only option. You can't advertise that your customers enjoy paying for a service when the 'free' alternative has only been available for a week AND a lot of your customers will be tied into a 12 month contract so cant leave yet anyway!
