Telekom has a negative premiere in 2019 in Romania, having an ad banned due to the fact that it was designed in a way meant to deceive customers, or at least that's what the CNA claim. Notifying themselves after the commercial began to be broadcast on television stations, the CNA banned the Telekom commercial because it presented a "reality" that was not really applicable to all customers in Romania.
Telekom made an advertisement to promote Telekom Smart WiFi, from this page, a router that aims to bring internet and Wi-Fi to customers without having to run a cable through their home for connectivity. The advertisement made by Telekom suggests that Telekom Smart WiFi is available to everyone, but in reality there are some conditions on the basis of which access to the product can be obtained, and in some cases the product is not really that cheap.
DECEPTIVE Telekom advertisement that was BANNED in Romania
Telekom was initially accused by those from CNA of misinforming its customers when it tells them that Telekom Smart WiFi is not available for those who have fiber optic coverage for fixed internet, the representatives of the customer support service making these statements. In reality, Telekom Smart WiFi is available everywhere, for everyone, but that miraculous router costs at least 700 LEI, which is not mentioned in the Telekom advertisement.
Telekom presented in its advertisement a router that offered wireless access to the Internet, via Wi-Fi, at the price of 24 LEi per month, but the router offered with this subscription was not the magic one from the spot, but a much cheaper one. The magic router in the spot for Telekom Smart WiFi costs 700 LEi per month, but those from Telekom did not mention this anywhere beyond the website where the offer for customers is presented.
Telekom attracted my attention with this Telekom Smart WiFi right from the moment I saw the clip, but the offers that seem too good to be true, really are. At the beginning of the article you have the modified advertisement from Telekom, the only change being the small text at the base of the clip in which it is said that the router in the images costs 700 LEI.
