No: When VM change their rules, you are perfectly entitled to cancel your subscription by giving 30 days notice. Check the terms and conditions of service, or, indeed, contracts law..

but when a user decides to do the same back they are low lifes?
and they should be burned in hell... how about having the same feeling towards
companys who go out their way to restrict your service to a stop and still
continue to steal full payments for a service they are advertising which clearly
we are all not getting,

i have the full XL package but i credit the cloners and the people whos
stealing service from VM because VM is stealing our money

They took sky 1 of us all and we are now paying a higher price! work that out

Actually, I suspect you'll find it's Sky who took Sky 1..

The fact that a company raises it's prices or has problems with it's services is no justification for theft. Would you go into a shop, pick up an item where the price has gone up in the last week, go to the shop assistant and pay what you would have paid last week? Probably not. If you did, you'd be committing theft and would risk police action.

Why is stealing from a service (such as Virgin or BT) any different?

Generally, you have a legal course of action you can take if you have a grievance with a service or company. You can either stay with it, and hope the company is willing/able to fix the problem, or you can find another provider. That's the beauty of capitalism, choice.

Cloning modems, however you dress it up, is part of the problem, not the solution.
