Have you seen the T-Mobile commercial is which a young lady stops her car along a rural highway, pulls out a chain saw, and proceeds to cut down a telephone pole, bringing down the entire line? Besides the fact that the poles appear to be carrying three-phase power lines, and I know its just a commercial, but still: I had to wonder if T-Mobile couldn't have made their point about "cutting the cord" by having the lady cut the cord of her home phone, rather than vandalizing the poles of a telco or utility company. What's next? Blowing up a central office?
I thought the commercial was pretty funny. I believe that was the intent of the commercial, not to promote vandalism.
Yeah, I saw that commercial. I thought it was pretty stupid, IMHO. And I too noticed that those are not telephone lines, but three-phase power lines. However, I'm sure the average person wouldn't know the difference. I don't think the average person will go around sawing down power poles either lol.
You clearly didn't read the fine print as she was cutting down the pole. It said something to the extent that T-Mobile didn't condone the act of cutting down poles. Though if it were a pole from AT&T or Verizon, and T-Mobile did gain some new customers from that outage...I'm sure they'd allow it, just once. :wink:
Oh yeah we do totally promote the cutting down of all other carriers towers, in fact if you do it and call tmobile you will get some bonus minutes! :cheers2:
