Re: Legal action taken against Virgin Media throttling practices

Quote:
VM did not go through the steps to vary, nor take a fair and mutually amicable approach.
The right to manage the service was in your original contract - there has been no variation in your terms!

Quote:
They would also have required to offer arrangements and alternatives, none of which followed
Your alternative was to find another provider, if you did not like the service changes Virgin were proposing

I find it interesting that you seemed to have not minded or taken legal action about the previous variences in your contract when it applied either to price changes (which again you would have been given no alternative) or speed increases in your favour.

Quote:
What Virgin Media instead practised towards many is a grossly unfair, unreasonable and unwelcome change in a crucial part of the service without reasonable explanation
They posted a full explanation as to why, when and how they were doing it on the website before it was introduced - a copy of which can be found here http://web.archive.org/web/200705160...t/traffic.html

Posting this would have complied with the original Telewest terms
