Octobit ADSL… Orange 8Mb vs. Zain 8Mb

Advertising — By Samer Marzouq on November 16, 2008 at 5:40 pm

I like the visual of Orange 8Mb ADSL ad, but I found the number on the winner’s line pretty stupid, in this kind of sports, lines are supposed to be numbered in an ascending manner, so if the number of the winner was 8, the guy on his right should be 9, which means a higher speed. They could of simply put the winner in the last line, and number all lines probably. I guess they shouldn’t add the number, since the message says: “The fastest ADSL”, people will still figure it out.

What if they endorsed things that take forever to be done, such as download or video streaming; a video from YouTube, the buffering bar is burning because of the speed, inside the video a guy is running and yelling: “wait wait”, you can put it in a bubble speech, then the message could say: “overwhelming speed” or “are you up to it?” or “can you handle it?”

Both operators offer the same price, 59.90 JD’s, with Orange it’s subject to sales tax, which is 16%, I’m not sure if it’s more, with Zain it’s subject to 8% only. As far as I know, Orange has separate charges in addition to the ADSL fees. However Orange is better in terms of download limitation, with Zain it’s only 10GB a month, while Orange it’s up to 20GB, but who really needs this amount?

You’ve just committed a sin by asking “Who really needs 20GB”

20GB is not anywhere near enough my friend, and it’s very unfair for the 8Mbit price considering how much you get with the 2Mbit line (10GB). It should be 40GB at the very least. The more you pay the better the deal is supposed to get. In this case Orange is penalizing the higher paying customers.

“but who really needs this amount”
Well I totally disagree with you on that. I have a 1Mbit line with 20 GB limit and most of months I finish this limit around the third week of the month and get my speed reduced till the end of the month, so in case of 8Mbit, I think the limit will be exceeded on the first week

Orange sales tax is 8% as well, they can not play with the sales tax at all.
and the price includes the JT ADSL fees too.
