Thank you, Broadbandings, for your concise rebuff to what the Virgin Media and Telewest employees have stated on this forum. I am beginning to suspect they are using damage avoidance and obfuscation tactics.

The fact is that the term "unlimited" means just that, and not anything else as the Telewest employee has posted. So, be it contract, terms and conditions, or some other magic phrase Virgin Media want to mislead clients and potential clients about the one thing that shines in all their conduct so far, on and off list, is the obvious willingness to mislead people.

Additionally, whilst I am commenting generally, and not on the specifics of the case, some comments by Virgin Media and subsidiary company staff are bordering on something the court may wish to speak to Virgin Media about. Punitively.

I can well understand why Virgin Media would want to push someone off a case and protect their position viz-a-viz their constant deception.

They could, of course, be reasonable and fair to people. If they choose.
