Totally agree. What's the point of having an agreement or contract if Virgin can change the terms whenever. Whilst you do get the right to walk away from your contract if changes are made, why isn't it a 2 way street? If I'm in a 18 month contract with Virgin, but have a change of financial circumstances and can no longer afford to pay the contract, I can't just say to Virgin I want to change the terms and if you're not happy you can walk away free of charge. What happens is Virgin will levy charges / costs against you for breaking the terms of the contract early. It's not often Virgin will allow someone to leave mid-contract without penalising them in someway.
I'd like to see the introduction of 90 day contracts across the whole of pay TV. That way providers would have to work bloody hard to keep their customers. It'll never happen as it works in favour of the consumer.
