It just strikes me as somewhat odd that this topic, and defending Virgin Media, has seemingly galvanised you into action on the forum.

You’ve made a number of irrelevant comparisons - purchasing a 2019 model of a car, a “fixed rate” mortgage (the purpose of which is to remove uncertainty.

The defence seemingly is that Virgin can legally do this, therefore tough. That may be so, but no-one anywhere is going to convince me as a rational consumer acting in my own interest that I should pay more for a monthly subscription service and get less.

Under your preposterous scenario I could be on the same package as when I joined Telewest in the 90s. Well, mate, you signed the contract didn’t you? They’re supplying you with exactly what you agreed to. And paying a higher monthly subscription for it too.
