The concerned advertisement made by TalkTalk, one of the leading providers of broadband and home phone bundles in the United Kingdom, has been reportedly banned by the advertising watchdog from airing in the United Kingdom.

The penalised advertisement was seen claiming that users could cut their broadband internet bills to a nominal GBP 6.49 a month. The voice-over the advert did not clarify the fact that separate charges would be taxed for calls made between morning 6 and evening 6, although some clarifications were made by the on-screen text.

On the other hand, TalkTalk forwarded the argument that the advertisement seldom tend to mislead as it affirmed that only the inclusive elements came under the fixed-price while the the non-inclusive elements were to be billed separately.

However, it was stated by the advertising regulator of the country that they considered that the viewers of the ad were likely to predominantly interpret the reference in the ad’s voice-over to ‘your bill’ as a cut in their overall broadband-phone bill rather than simply the inclusive call price.
