ISP/Service provider Advertising Weasel words and Downright lies

Wondered if anyone else had interest in a thread for sharing Lovely examples of either a complete lack of understanding or a deliberate attempt to mislead by our illustrious service providers ?

If not this thread will die a death, or maybe it will live on.

I'll start with some fabulous natural fertiliser from 3 regarding data packages

"100GB data (or 100,000MB) is functionally almost unlimited"

Sorry 3 but 100 is functionally almost as far from infinity as you can get.

I don't aim to change the world but i do love to hate this kind of thing

Basically any advert where an ISP or mobile operator tries to claim they're the "cheapest", "fastest" or "most reliable" - they usually aren't or miss out on the key supporting evidence for their claims. Another one is where a provider claims to "guarantee" a service, albeit without actually offering anything to support said guarantee (i.e. no compensation when it doesn't deliver etc.) - i.e. it's not a guarantee at all.
