But he is unlikely to sign an 18 month contract as you never know and no one wants to have to pay an early disconnection fee.

Wanting to move and actually moving are very different in the market as it stands

And yes a long new contract is probably more important that the £150 quid connection charge. A tv service is a fixed service (well for cable at least) you can't take it with you the way you can a mobile phone or indeed sky. Which makes me question the idea of long contracts. I can see why VM would want to tie you down though. However finding out how much it costs to cancel is difficult as no one wants to answer that question usually when you phone up.

but if you take up a new contract and move.
take your V.M equipment with you and if V.M can't supply you where you have moved to .
the contract is void as you have not broken it .

He would be charged an Early Disconnection Charge as his contract would not be void.

If you sign a contract for an address that can be provisioned and during the contract period you decide to move to an unprovisioned address then yes you would be liable for an Early Disconnection Charge, it is not a question of Virginmedia being unable to supply services to your new address as you are under contract.

I expect if Ben sees this post he will confirm it.

Re: TiVo

You are indeed correct. Any contract is for the address you are at, there is never any guarantee of forward transfer. This is in the terms:

http://shop.virginmedia.com/the-lega...ices.html#home

If you move to another address during any minimum period paragraph J2 will apply, unless you continue to receive Virgin Media Ltd and/or Virgin Media Entertainment services at your new address (in which case paragraph K3 will apply).

J2 covers the Early Disconnection Fees

Our and/or Virgin Media Entertainment's obligation to provide the services is also subject to survey.

Re: TiVo

Yup, that applies to the agreement for the address you applying for services which is counted as a seperate legal agreement, not at an address where services are already active

So if you had asked for a TiVo box at the house move, paid for the box and then it was found the services couldn't be installed, you would be refunded the any fees paid for TiVo

However you would still be liable for any charges or EDFs that are due for your existing services
