Orange rapped over broadband ad claims
A new promotional campaign for Orange's broadband service has landed the provider in trouble with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
The regulator decided that, in a recent newspaper advert, Orange misled consumers by comparing its Home Max service to BT's broadband offerings and claiming that it was possible to "save over £190 when you switch from BT".
According to the ASA, Orange's calculation failed to consider a number of additional features included in the BT service, such as free Wi-Fi minutes, Norton AntiVirus software and a free cordless phone.
