Either way your discount has been removed, just a letter was worded differently.
Bingo! That would have been an open and honest way to deal with customers.

So why aren't the letters reworded? Because the "incorrect discounts" are actually customer agreements. That's not just my personal opinion but a point of law.

But then, that wouldnt help you get your services on the cheap so wouldnt really benefit you.

It seems this discussion is going round in circles as you are clearly not intersted in listening to any other members views.
Or perhaps it's because I look at a letter which isn't open and honest, and therefore dishonest, while other people try to rationalise the letters by relying on the motivation for the letters.

So it's not a question of me not listening to other opinions, it's a question of dealing with the facts: VirginMedia are not being open and honest. They may have sound commercial reasons for their actions but they are pursuing them in a wholly devious and distrustful manner.
