I don't want to be put into a new contract, so may be forced to cancel altogether if they now do his (assuming that this is legal and/or correct). It seems very short sighted to try to keep doing things to force customers to stay, surely it would make better business sense for them to persuade customers to want to stay.

Hopefully Ben will see this and be able to shed some light on this. Either the newspaper has got this wrong or it's a new policy.

Common sense says that once out of contract a new discount should be negotiated. VM rely on people forgetting to do this, not doing so through inertia or other reasons.

A letter will serve as a very useful prompt to people with busy lives and could well be essential to those with some disabilities.

I'm growing tired of your unhelpful and snide comments.


I am not aiming to be unhelpful, Richard, I am just trying to demonstrate to you the futility of your rage. If you are so upset by Virgin Media's treatment of you, change to Sky.

Why can you not bring yourself to do this?

Instead of constantly whingeing and threatening legal action, just take the plunge.

I am sure you will be much happier with Sky.
