We therefore concluded that the ad was unlikely to mislead viewers<\/em>,&#8221; said the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps of more interest is the claim by B4RDS that a press advert for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s network access division), which was also seen in February 2016, had attempted to mislead readers by claiming that their network is &#8220;<em>open to over 500 companies and their customers on equal terms<\/em>&#8221; and that &#8220;<em>BT has invested over \u00a320 billion in communications infrastructure over the last decade, including \u00a310.5bn in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s network<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The B4RDS team challenged the 500 companies claim because &#8220;<em>they understood that other [ISPs] did not have access to elements of the Openreach network<\/em>&#8221; (A). Likewise they questioned whether the <strong>\u00a310.5bn<\/strong> investment claim was accurate &#8220;<em>because they understood that while Openreach\u2019s profits had increased over the previous ten years, capital investment in the Openreach network had not shown a corresponding increase, and had instead remained relatively constant<\/em>&#8221; (B). Once again both complaints were rejected.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asa.org.uk\/Rulings\/Adjudications\/2016\/7\/British-Telecommunications-plc\/SHP_ADJ_343662.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">ASA Ruling:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint A.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We understood that BT had an agreement with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> that required Openreach to treat all ISPs equally in terms of providing them with an equivalent service. Therefore, we understood that all ISPs who wished to use the network could do so under the same terms. Because we considered that consumers would understand the claim to mean that all ISPs had the same access to the Openreach network, under the same terms, and that was the case, we concluded that it was not misleading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaint B.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We considered that consumers would interpret the claim to mean that BT had invested \u00a310.5 billion into the Openreach infrastructure, to improve and expand the network, over the last ten years. We did not consider that consumers were likely to have any expectations regarding the proportion of Openreach\u2019s income that that investment represented as a result of reading the claim.<\/p>\n<p>We noted that the relevant annual reports confirmed that Openreach had invested just over \u00a310.5 billion in \u201cCapital expenditure\u201d over the preceding ten years (2006-2015). Because of that, we concluded that the claim was unlikely to mislead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Openreach complaints make for an interesting contrast against the backdrop of yesterday&#8217;s Strategic Review statement from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>, which did suggest that Openreach should have invested more into its national broadband network (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/07\/ofcom-bt-reach-agreement-future-openreach-fibre.html\">here<\/a>) and must also become more accessible to rivals (Cable Duct and Pole Access etc.), albeit viewed via a very different context from the above gripes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK Advertising Standards Authority has rejected a string of complaints against a TV advert for BT&#8217;s broadband services and a moan by the Broadband for Rural Devon &amp; Somerset (B4RDS) project, which questioned Openreach&#8217;s \u00a310.5bn capital investment claims for their national network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[99,474,69],"class_list":["post-12206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-asa","tag-bt","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
