Re: Legal action taken against Virgin Media throttling practices

Ok am I missing something here, why is the OP comparing their contract with the comapnies T&C's?

You take a contract with Virgin Media for a set period of time for a service at a set price (or an offer price) after installation or change of a package. Acceptance of a cnatract is also classed as acceptance of company terms and conditions (if you were an ex-Telewest customer then if you have a copy of the Telewest Broadband T&C's they do also state that your connection may be managed).

The Terms and Conditions of this service state the companies obligation to you (and vice versa) as well as limits, restrictions, policies etc.

The T&C's clearly state that your connection may be managed under certain circumstances...

The T&C's also state that they can be amended at any time...


Im sorry but you agreed to abide by the companies terms and conditions which are pretty clear when it comes to this area. Court action is almost pointless I would say as any solicitor worth his salt should refer you firstly to your contractural obligation with the respective company and how their T&C's would regulate your case.

Surely also OFCOM would be used as a defence case seen as they are the regulator who essentially "proof read's" communication companies T&C's... as well as the many lawyaers from Virgins side which scrutinse all their communications and legal documentation before they are issued?

I dont want to rain on your parade but I think it is definatley worth while pointing out the difference between "Contract" and "Terms and Condtions of service", which are clearly two seperate thinsg altogether.
