Purposefully deceptive advertising

A friend of mine highly recommended to sign up with Afrihost ADSL, so he referred them to me. I received the following email:

"Dear Carlos,

Your friend Jonathon thinks that you should sign up with Afrihost for Uncapped ADSL Broadband. Just by signing up you'll automatically get 50% off your first bill

Our Uncapped ADSL plans start from just R197 per month, imagine the possibilities! "

So you think, ok this is a real deal: R197 PM!!!

And I click where it says "I want affordable Uncapped ADSL" then I'm presented with this beautiful page with these amazing deals: R297 PER MONTH for 2Mbps and I think what? Can I have 2Mbps Uncapped for the same money I'm paying with Telkom for 1 Mbps capped at 10Gb PM? Of course I'm signing up and I click where it says "Sign up now" under the 2Mbps column.

The next page tells me something wonderful:

"What you Pay today
Normal Monthly CostR 297.00
50% Referral DiscountR -110.18
Pro Rata DiscountR -76.65
R 110.17"

What they NEVER tell you is that these prices don't include the ADSL rental line. So the REAL prices are R297 for 1Mbps uncapped and R497 for 1 Mbps uncapped.

They're really are doing it intentionally. BAD!!! I'm paying less with Telkom
