M1 the number 1 faker in industry

No need me to explain. Everyone should know all about their stupid terms and their stupid ways of making consumers pay more. I wonder what is CASE doing.

Now, we should not only involve CASE but also the advertising authority. We all know- alright, the techies- that M1 has advertised about their Unlimited 3G plan at $68 per month with the Vodafone card free if you sign up for two years. But do you know that the unlimited 3G advertised is not really unlimited?

1. For data services with unlimited usage benefits, your usage should not be:
 
(a) Excessive (downloading or uploading more than 1 GB each month inclusive of video streaming, video calls, email access, VOIP calls and dowloading and uploading of any contents); or
(b) Unreasonable (use which may adversely affect our network, or other customers’ use of our network and/or services); or
(c) Fraudulent (including resupplying our service without our consent to a third party to access the data services).
   
2. If you are in breach of Clause 1 above, we shall, without notice to you, have the right to:
 
(a) charge you a rate of S$0.01 per KB in blocks of 10KB, for continued data services usage; or
(b) suspend, limit or terminate the service (or any feature of it) for any period reasonably necessary.

This is the so called “fair usage terms”. WTF la! They trying to protect themselves only. Scared they cannot support. How can you not use more than 1GB if you are using a computer. And if its only 1GB of usage, shouldn’t they advertise as 1GB free usage per month 3G?
