At least we now know that Ofcom are to look into whether the VM t&c's are to be classed as unfair or not.
If it's found that they aren't, they may not be able to get away with
any channel removals with a replacement or package discount.
They've opened a real can of worms for themselves over this and it serves them right.
Also, VM are now trying to say that those who have accepted discounts for the loss of these channels have put themselves into a new contract!
There was no mention, let alone agreement about this, when I called last Monday. Upon checking, they have indeed put me in a contract for a year since last Monday. This is for a discount that works out at 34p a week over a year.
It's totally laughable and my solicitor is to send them a letter telling them to correct this immediately.

Interesting interview on radio 4 just now with UKTV and VM.
VM let slip that up until last week, they were negotiating for the UKTV free channels, so couldn't tell customers they might lose them..
Not negotiating for all, just for the free ones...
