As before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> and two members of the public complained that the claim &#8220;<em>unlimited data<\/em>&#8221; was misleading because the customers could only use<strong> 5GB<\/strong> of data in a month before their connections were slowed to 2G speeds, which would be similar to old-fashioned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/dialup\">dialup<\/a> (narrowband) performance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>ASA Ruling (Ref: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asa.org.uk\/Rulings\/Adjudications\/2014\/11\/Lycamobile-UK-Ltd\/SHP_ADJ_282052.aspx#.VHV5O6NyamQ\" target=\"_blank\">A14-282052<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The ASA considered that &#8220;unlimited&#8221; was a strong claim and that consumers were likely to expect that services, or features of services, described as &#8220;unlimited&#8221; would be subject only to moderate restrictions. We understood the &#8220;Unlimited Data&#8221; claim that appeared on Lycamobile&#8217;s website referred to a service in which customers would have their speeds significantly reduced, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> to 2G, as a result of exceeding the data thresholds.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In that context, we considered, although the restriction might only affect a small proportion of customers, reducing users&#8217; download speeds to that extent was not moderate and that any reference to it was likely to contradict, rather than clarify, the claims that the service was &#8220;unlimited&#8221;. We therefore concluded that the claim &#8220;Unlimited Data&#8221; was misleading.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unlike the previous ban Lycamobile did at least respond to the ASA this time and promised to include an asterisk next to the claim that would link to their T&amp;C&#8217;s, which in turn would explain the limits. However the ASA banned the advert and told Lycamobile UK not to claim that their service was &#8220;<em>unlimited<\/em>&#8221; if they imposed restrictions that were more than moderate, which means that simply adding an asterisk wouldn&#8217;t be enough.<\/p>\n<p>A quick check of Lycamobile&#8217;s website now shows that the related &#8220;<em>UK 15 Plan<\/em>&#8221; is being advertised as offering 5GB of data and not &#8220;<em>unlimited data<\/em>&#8220;. Finally, and it only one and a half years to achieve some basic honesty for consumers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 9:44am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been pointed out that the dedicated page for the <strong>UK 15 Plan<\/strong> does mention 5GB as stated above, yet the overall index of packages that includes the same plan simply states &#8220;<em>Unlimited*<\/em>&#8221; and this could confuse customers since directly below it also states &#8220;<em><span class=\"mrg10-R\">Dial <strong class=\"f-blue5\">*139*11244#<\/strong><\/span><\/em>&#8220;, which is the only other asterisk remark we could find that was of relevance to the package. It would have been easy to link the specific T&amp;C&#8217;s had they wanted to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile operator Lycamobile UK appears to have become a serial offender after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned, for a third time no less, a &#8220;misleading&#8221; promotion on their website that claimed to offer &#8220;UNLIMITED DATA NOW WITH 4G&#8221; when in fact the data usage was effectively capped to just 5GB (GigaBytes).<\/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":[61,99,60,63],"class_list":["post-8162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-4g","tag-asa","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-three-uk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
