消费者委会警告网络供应商勿误导消费者 10月29日消息 澳洲竞争与消费者委员会(ACCC)10月26日向争先恐后为网民提供高速互联网服务的电信公司发出警告,不要在广告宣传中以不真实的高速接入网速来误导消费者。 据报道,澳洲竞争与消费者委员会主席Graeme Samuel表示:“我们只是提醒所有的电信公司要小心,你们有可能已经跨越了误导和欺骗的界限。” 他特别强调那些提供每秒钟24mb高速宽带上网服务的供应商,这样的接入网速在绝大多数情况下是不可能达到的。 他指出,电信公司应该清楚的注明,根据与电信公司交换机的距离和线路的繁忙情况,互联网的速度“最高可达到”每秒钟24mb。他希望在类似的广告中能看到真实的互联网速度。 :si92 http://www.bordermail.com.au/news/bm/business/493008.html Broadband advert warning AUSTRALIA’S competition watchdog has warned telcos racing to offer high-speed internet access not to mislead consumers with false claims about service speeds. The head of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission Graeme Samuel issued the warning yesterday. “We are just saying to all the telecommunications companies just be careful, you may be overstepping the mark in terms of misleading and deceptive conduct,” Mr Samuel said. He highlighted companies offering ADSL internet access with potential speeds of 24 megabits a second, to warn that these speeds are largely unachievable. :si79 |
