This is a legally sound argument. The law governing contracts requires that all contracts be negotiable and that any changes must be agreed by both parties. That prevents people from forcing someone to agree to a contract or changing the contract in an unfair way (e.g. "your bill is not £100/month and you have no choice but to pay since the contract says minimum 12 months").

It's also a grey area as to whether publishing any changes to terms and conditions is acceptable when only available to view on a website.
one can argue that it isn't sufficient and unfair. as you automatically agree to them without having to view them.
