   Self-regulatory body NAD said TV ad pitch was unsupported   
      
   An advertising self-regulatory body has told T-Mobile's home internet   
   service it should stop making the implied claim in its TV commercial   
   that consumers can save 50% over the price of cable broadband and   
   other home internet competitors and T-Mobile has agreed, though says   
   it does not agree with the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB   
   National Programs' conclusion the claim is off base.   
      
   NAD said it had determined that the “Up to 50%” savings claim is   
   unsupported because few consumers are paying the $105 a month that   
   T-Mobile uses as its basis for comparison from the FCC’s benchmark   
   rates and that the benchmark, rather than an average price but a   
   public policy metric "set by the FCC to ensure equitable pricing for   
   rural areas."
