A brief piece of on-screen text also stated: &#8220;<em>UK residential only.

The ad ended by noting that Sky customers needed to pay \u00a312 a month for the service, while BT broadband users would get it for free.<\/p>\n<p>However one individual complained that the ad featured scenes set in businesses, which is despite the fact that BTSport isn&#8217;t free to business customers. Elsewhere <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> was joined by several other complainants in describing the ad as misleading because it failed to make sufficiently clear that BTSport was only available to view online, unless customers also had access to Sky Digital or BT TV with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/btinfinityuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BTInfinity<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>).

In this context the ASA considered that most viewers would interpret the ad as primarily promoting BT Sport on TV.

Because we considered the on-screen qualification did not make clear that BT Sport was only available to view online unless customers also had access to Sky Digital or BT TV with Infinity, and because it was not shown at the time the &#8220;free&#8221; offer was referenced in the voice-over, we concluded the ad was misleading.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As usual the ASA banned the advert and told BT to ensure that the necessary information was made clear in the future.
