Wanadoo UK is facing a the wrath of the Advertising Standards Authority
(ASA), the advertising watchdog claims
The Register.
The problem is with the advertising of the newly launched 8Mbps broadband
service, but details of complaints are not yet known, but seem to be about
claims by Wanadoo of it's speed, and availability as it's only available in
limited areas of the country.
The ASA has received more than half a dozen complaints from the general
public, including some from BT, Bulldog and Tiscali who, as you would expect, were
quick to criticize.
A spokesman for Wanadoo UK confirmed that the ASA "is currently investigating
our up to 8 meg TV and press advertising" and that it would "comply with any
recommendations" made by the ASA.
The ruling , which is expected to uphold four out of
five complaints, should be published within the next week or so.
