I’m not sure what purchasing a seat on a flight has to do with anything. A further irrelevant comparison from a completely different market. We’ve now had cars, mortgages and now flights. All one off purchases not monthly subscriptions.

When I purchase a seat on a plane I get the same options as everyone else. If I don’t pay for an aisle seat or extra legroom then I know I’m rolling the dice the same as everyone else who doesn’t. Easyjet (or anyone else) don’t set out to create two tiers of customer buying the bog standard ticket, but among those of us who didn’t select our seats I had exactly the same chance as everyone else of an “upgrade”.

Save the personal attacks I can live without them. I’m just a rational consumer in the marketplace. I’m not sure what you are but Virgin Media are entitled to criticism where due. If, as it would seem, you think Virgin Media are beyond reproach then you’ll find yourself at odds with around half the posters on here who have some grumble or another. As I’ve said before I think this is a bizarre position to hold such a strong belief in.
