Virgin Media T&C's
Section B, Category 3, Sub Section ii
"We reserve the right to monitor and control data volume and/or types of traffic transmitted via the interactive services on your Virgin TV and/or Internet access."

Thoughts?

Hi Alex,
I was going through these last night and my reading of that section was that data volumes and/or data types could be examined - but
not the data itself... This is implicitly linked with the traffic management section although, I suspect, it is therefore not limited to it, and so the inference i'm getting is that this is to enable to do packet type profiling and say "oh - you've received 823MB of x-binary data today" rather than examine the packet contents.
It does not
seem to me to be allowing examination, storage or manipulation of the data sent between me and another party... however IANAL
Any knowledgable insight into the Ts & Cs would be well received by all here I suspect.
Cheers
Tim
