Post removed - enough of this pointless argument, leave it alone and move on (both of you).

Eureka!! Agreed! Should never have happened. However you do need to remove the pointless comments that deliberately misunderstood the point I was making, for whatever reason.

It's not an issue of pickyness. In this case it is actually the core distinction. VM could contractually force you to have the equipment in your house and not allow you to use it, if you had any other VM services. They could run it from their STB, or phone, or anything else. It's in your house, but it's their equipment and they can do whatever they want with it - your only choice would be to cancel all VM services.

That is complete BS.

they cannot force you to put anything thing in your house, plus any/my solicitor would have a field day.

for a start how would the install it, you can refuse entry to your house. plus even if they did install it whose going to pay for the electricity and installation of addition sockets.

I doubt you have a retained solicitor.

They install it along with other equipment needed for any services you are running.

Just as with the CPE you are using, you pay for the electricity and any additional sockets.

Way back when cable operators had amplifiers and splitters mounted on houses. That property may not have needed the equipment to be there to deliver their service but it was there nonetheless.

If you agreed to it as part of your terms and conditions you don't have a leg to stand on.

This argumentative thread has been dead for over a fortnight, gratefully forgotten for the most part. A strange decision to resurrect it.

EDIT: This isn't directed at you but generally Christ on a bike the amount of bitching over this defies belief. UPC deliver this throughout Europe as Wi-Free Horizon. It has been knocking around in the USA and Canada for years that I'm aware of. It hasn't caused the world to end, blown up anyone's house, or murdered their first born.

Anyway, this thread has pretty well covered everything. It, or something like it, will be revived when hotspots get rolled out.

Sorry Mod: I will keep quiet now.

No need for pointless bickering. Closed.
