I care about any wasteful expenditure by VM as it's ultimately customers and shareholders that end up footing the bill!
You make an interesting point about Off Net, perhaps they could design an alternative mailshot for non cabled areas, or put something on the back along the lines of "if you're not in a cabled area, don't worry, we can still supply you with products from Off Net".
VM have made a big thing about environmental issues lately eg they have introduced paperless bills and a corporate video about paper waste has been made to show to staff- then they go and waste paper sending inappropriate mailshot!

I find the DDA pretty useless and do know a great deal about it - not just due to my own circumstances.
I do have an inordinate amount of patience where its due.
We are never going to agree on your opinion of how you see your actions / posts etc so maybe you should leave it at that. The evidence of your 'style' is after all all there in your posts - just the same as mine.
I find VM the same as any other company that I've come across - they may well make all the right noises but as soon as it comes to money they tend to throw that out the window - and I Can't say I blame them either.
It's not just the mailshots - they call too and don't seem to realise (despite) being told repetedly that there's no point in calling.
I left in the end as they wanted to charge an extra £25 a month to move me onto adsl2+
But my dad sticks with them and he gets letters at least once a week.

You have been shown numerous times, by various members, how to identify and add links to your posts, I even offered to show you how to do it privately by PM and you showed not the slightest interest to learn. Age is not the barrier here it is disinclination. My offer of several years ago is still open to you if you wish to PM me I will happily teach you how to locate and post the information members keep asking of you.

Indeed - several of the blind people I teach IT skills are well into their 90's and they manage just fine
They give me a run for my money I tell you
