Can someone please explain what is the difference between Nation and Cable. Because as far as a customer is concerned, they are dealing with VM, and not two different departments. So it is reasonable to expect the same conditions across the board.

Agreed. However if you know your rights, and you escalate the complaint high enough, then you will usually find someone who knows the law....and they can't argue with that. If they are still being stubborn, then just mention those words that businesses dread (Watchdog, and Trading Standards).
