    misleading advert; iphone is not that fast in browsing the internet and is exagerated greatly in this ad

    i have an iphone i’m from the uk and i love it as do all of my friends that have iphones we do appreciate good technology

    just because 17 people out of the 60,776,238 complained that live here doest mean they should stop selling it

    so take a chill pill yer ?

    btw the ad is misleading but i diagree with the fact that it should of been banned anybody with half a brain would know it didnt load that fast

    and btw edge is slow

  9. weetsie says:

    they made out it loaded 10times faster than it actually lies, we have good advetising rules which only stop the public getting ripped off.

  10. annoydestroy says:

    yeah usa and the uk arent the only developed countries that sell the iphone dickhead.

  11. NeeCheeSock says:

    Ooooookaaaayyyy, I’m not too sure why this had to be BANNED entirely but… all I wanted was the song name. Anyone who isn’t having an argument with people they don’t even know know the name?

    I can’t believe they banned this commercial in the UK
    The phone is fast even on the edge network UK people are a bunch of whinny cry babies.
    Apple should pull the iphone out of the UK and just sell it in the USA.
    People who appreciate good technology.
    Fucking whiners!

  14. emilioris says:

    No tan rápido como dicen… no so fast!!! jajaja

  15. alchemistmuffin says:

    Okay, after analyzing the ad hundreds of times, and testing out the iPhone 3G with 3G only, I came to conclusion….

    THEY SHOULD’VE PUT THE “SEQUENCE SHORTENED” CAPTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING AD!

    Then it wouldn’t have gotten banned….

  16. TimTrimT says:

    That would be awesome are you kidding? Then there would be no commercials! :)

  17. bodthemod69 says:

    my lg vewty is faster than my mates i phone
    we had a race to get on face book and i won
    plus his camra is only 2 mp and mine is five.
    so his phone might sell for more on ebay but i wouldn’t swap.its basically style over content

    watch?v=QGMnTCKNKcA

    vista wallpapers
    customize and them

  19. Enthir says:

    Imagine showing the real speed of mobile Internet. That would be a 5 minute commercial.
    Lets start banning all commercials that exaggerate. That will make it all better. Won’t it, naive people?

  20. beasey says:

    Recent Survey SAID:
    7 out of 10 iphone customers sucks DICK!

  21. carrierexchange says:

    Most likely they had “really fast” WiFi.

  22. TechnicolorThao says:

    They use their network when you go into Saskatchewan, sure. But everywhere else they use their own towers, or MTS or whoever. Either way, you saying it’s the fastest network in the world is an absolute joke. LTE / HSPA is and always will be faster than EVDO, not even taking into account the far superior technology on chinese cell phone networks. Don’t make stupid claims.

    Im not from a farm? lol you do realize that Telus and Rogers use the network sasktel built, bandwidth is leased to them, and they evidently arent to invested in that because theyre bandwidth is far bellow satisfactory. Evdo simply means theres a capability, it doesnt mean theres any satisfactory performance behind the capability lol quite the opposite.

  24. TechnicolorThao says:

    Lmao. You’ve got to be fucking kidding. Sasktel fastest in the world? What have you been smoking? They’re JUST finishing up becoming EVDO (which is what Bell/Telus have been for ages) and they’re at least twice as slow as Rogers. You’re hilarious though, good try, farmboy.

  25. adamisthereinventer says:

    No, the network providers know what they network is capable of lol my mom works for sasktel which has the fastest net work in the world and she knew this wasnt going to go over well, just like Apple knew. They just fed everyone bullshit and they bought it like they always do. The grid just cant handle the bandwidth, itl take billions to upgrade the entire continent
