Im not trying to be a smart ass Horizon.... so dont you try either. im simply telling you the facts.
It depends, a case could of gone to court but depending on people breaking the contract and there FINANCIAL SITUATION and reasons for doing so. So if a person wants to get out of a contract they pay a termination fee or ignore payments which will go to court eventually, if it cost worthy for the ISP to take them in the first place. If they end up in court and the judge sees that due to the persons financial situation they cant pay the judge will rule in favour of client where it maybe no payment for VM or small payments. But often it is not worth it to even take one person to court.
The question was not about case laws or the courts... I simply answered that if you take a upgrade or equipment from VM, where it may be by net/phone/email you are entering to a contract subject to as you say... Law of the land. and yes as you said law of the land over any company T&C's is right... European union being over the law of the land.
Except the fact or not. case laws or not. im not spending time to looking to case laws about a subject where majority of people in the thread are right and you are wrong, im not that sad. END OF DAY = You can enter in a contract with a company verbally/written/internet and it is bound by UK and EURO law even if they don't say over the phone your in a new contract, its your duty aswell as there's to find out if your in new contract etc etc. call it what you want... its the way it is.
Horizon your a smart person, but in this case use all the technically data and research into Uk and Euro law, im sure if you went to court you would be well prepared... but and ISP wouldnt waste soo much time in taking the little man to court unless to make an example of for everyone else. But if they did... you would be not in favour if you broke your CONTRACT.
I think we should nick name you "Terry Tibs" Horizon.
Can I ask are you studying law? or studying google/wiki/the internet and case laws? im not being sarcastic, its just a question

Just stop all this... and answer one question Horizon.
Are you in a legally binding contract (subject to law of the land) with Vm if you take there services or as an existing customer take an upgrade of your services. Regardless of if they have to re-warn you.
Please hold any argumentative thoughts and simply answer yes or no
if you would kindly
many thanks

and any case law doesn't have to be to Telecom or utilities in pacific as long as the case law is relevant to the topic at hand, aka contracts and breaking those contracts, contracts based upon terms and conditions by where one offers an invitation to sell a product, you buying product becomes a legally binding contract
