one can argue that it isn't sufficient and unfair. as you automatically agree to them without having to view them.
It is definitely not sufficient.

1. Even if TV/phone only subscribers had access to the web, VM do not signal the change in any way. Requiring clients to check a web site every day for updates is not acceptable. If you change a contract, you must inform the other party and they must agree to the changes.

2. You cannot automatically agree to a contract. You must specifically agree to it in some way that records your agreement (e.g. signing it). Otherwise instead of posting here I'd be sending random people letter's with a contract inside that says "By opening this letter you agree to pay me £100 a month for the rest of my natural life" and then suing them for breeching it.
