Oh I see, so these regulations don't apply to Virgin. I'm a bit confused as the Ofcom code mentions Fair Use Policies, which is the exact phrase that appeared on VM advertising. Perhaps so long as it's referred to as 'Subscriber Traffic Managment Policy' or 'Acceptable Use Policy' that means it's not applicable.

I have asked Ofcom to clarify this matter for me and will get back to you.

As I've said before - if Virgin were to e-mail a customer it is quite likely they would already be out the managment period by the time they recieved the e-mail

If they weren't all it would contain is the Traffic Managment policy.

As for e-mails, enough customers have no e-mail recorded and/or do not use it make it worthless
Oh that's alright then, if they'd be out of the period and the mail wouldn't have much in it it's fine to ignore that bit and claim compliance.
