But we aren't talking about things that have not been asked for. We are talking about services that HAVE been asked for.

In any case, that can't apply to services, because there is no way to keep something that requires continual payment. You at most may be able to argue that you can keep the equipment, however that would then become useless

Finally Virgin don't just randomly set up accounts and send kit out. It is always on the basis of someone phoning up and requesting services, so that legislation wouldn't apply
