Suing Virgin would be a lot harder than DL. DL's mistake was to drop the case when I challenged it, after causing me financial loss. Virgin have not cost me anything so far and the Small Claims Court can only be used to recover money owed or restore losses.

If I get one I will write back explaining their mistake. Have they ever actually cut anyone off? If they did I would sue for loss of income during the period where I had no internet connection. Actually that could be a long time because ADSL doesn't work on my BT line so I'm not sure what option there would be. Pay BT to put in a new line perhaps? FTTC isn't available here yet.

I am going to draft a complain to the ASA this evenings. They can't call it "unlimited" if they limit and eventually boot you off based on some arbitrary limit. If that fails might also write to the OCED and ask them to add "limited" as a synonym for "unlimited" since they apparently mean the same thing now. Kinda like flammable and inflammable.
