ntl: offering 8Mb broadband service!

I am getting a bit sick of this, on channel ntl: they keep referring to the 1Mb service as 1MB (1 megabyte). They have been doing it for months, could this be false advertising? Because legally i could ring up ntl: and order the supposed 1megabyte service only to get 1megabit!

I don't think the ASA will be that bothered, they have hundreds (well lots) of complaints about Ntl, and even when they rule that Ntl should stop doing something they still continue!!

See here: http://www.nthellworld.com/forum/sho...&highlight=ASA

And here: http://www.asa.org.uk/Adjudications/...&show_letter=N

(you'll need to scroll down to Ntl but you cant miss it, there's loads)
