A4greed withdrew the statement and told the ASA that they had done so which caused the complaint to lapse. A4greed then posted a statement rplacing "7 minutes" with "5 minutes".

If this turns out to be the case with the WP, then I'd love to see the figures for the rest of the W2W sector! It would place an already faltering WP in serious trouble. <br /><br />It will become ever more difficult to justify. Of course, we all know Cameron, Greyling and D Smith are ideologues and have tied themselves to the mast of this rudderless vessel.<br /><br />Secondly, if A4e's rivals delivering the WP have performed better than A4e, (better not necessarily meaning good) then they (A4e) will be singled out for its the worst performance amongst its other woes. Cameron, D Smith and Greyling will thus have to explain why they awarded the worst performing provider with contracts time after time.<br /><br />I see difficult questions ahead. Whether they'll be adequately answered if at all is another matter.iMattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-82255976688009616382012-06-28T12:54:10.085-07:002012-06-28T12:54:10.085-07:00You only have to look at the "targets" b...You only have to look at the "targets" board on any provider's office to see this.
