Truth in advertising!!!

[cutedoc]

i am sure most of us had been a victim of the advertisers between the lines propaganda...

take this for instance, weve been a subscriber of pldt dsl for a while, however the ads posted,like they are having a speed upto 384kbps, but they arent...

any advertisement which are hoax and false should be reported...

i remembered there used to be PANA truth in advertising, does this still exist?

or big companies paid them off

[yebo]

di ba pwede ireklamo yan sa dti?

[swimstroke]

up to 384 kbps kasi ang sabi sa ad, so parang may lusot sila diyan...

Unlike other countries, advertising in the Philippines is self-regulating. We have the Association of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines (4A's P for short ->AAAAP :P)that polices their own ranks.

There is a very fine line between effective marketing and false advertising. Pag sinabing speed up to 384kb/s, baka umabot nga don once every month for 10 secs-which wouldnt make it false advertising. Tulad ng mga binebenang "health drink" yes these are healthy indeed, but they are not any healthier than ordinary water, medyo misleading lang yung claim btu legally wala ata tayong laban dyan.

Try mo report sa AAAAP, if false claim nga yung sa PLDT.

paki-correct na lang ako kung mali. ang pagkaintindi ko kasi dyan, magkaiba yung kilobytes per second and kilobits per second. 384 kilobits divided by 8 bits/byte = 48 kilobytes per second.

yung ad uses kilobits as measure. sa net, ang uso kilobytes.pero ang balita di daw maganda ang pldt, kaya ako bayantel.

Para palang Osaka Iridology! Sino ba namang isa't-kalahating t*nga maniniwala dun sa mga outrageous claims nila? Kawawa naman ang mga naloloko nila.

Saka yung mga food supplements like Circulan, etc. Ang daming claims sa commercial tapos sa huli mga 0.5 seconds ifa-flash sa screem: NO THERAPEUTIC CLAIMS!

upgraded na ngaun ang plan 999 512kilobits per second na sya.. although I dont get the max speed... hanggang 460kpbs lang madalas... dahil sa signal loss siguro to....

bad trip nga yan ganyan. i remember dati nademanda yun hard disk manufacturer, d ko lang matandaan kung seagate yun. kasi daw 10GB ang advertise pero pag nabili mo na, 9.xxGB lang pala, 20GB around 18.xxGB lang daw. kaya hayun dinemanda daw sa America, d ko na lang na-monitor kung ano naging outcome.

nakakatawa pero true.

ang swerte nyo naman sa pldt. ako sa bayantel, 512kbps for 1700/mo kaso 4xx lang usually ang speed nya.
