Wow is anybody reading the t&c they agree to

I urge all posters to check what the sign up for and understand the facts.

Indeed, it's always impressed into you to be a savvy consumer that you should always read the fine print.

No-one likes a price increase, but what is being done isn't illegal, nor a way to get out of your contract. I remember when I was with Sky, my package went up every single year without fail.

And they should read other posts regarding the same issue prior to creating duplicate threads

Is anybody searching the numerous posts already on here before starting a new thread?

Well said!  I admit to being guilty on occasions of not reading things properly but that's my fault.

Apparently not. Although its not just the newbies that are creating pointless threads it seems

If everyone read every bit of small print of every contract or click through agreement they encountered, they'd have no time to live, not to mention we'd probably find lots of things we weren't in agreement with and wouldn't use the services of almost every company.

It's a legal document a_hcir so you need to read and know what you are signing up to

In that case you really can't argue if you're not happy with the Ts & Cs.  It's down to us to read them and don't sign if we don't agree - easier said than done I know but there's no point signing something and then trying to say the company is wrong later on.

And no, I'm not agreeing with the price increases, just saying that once you've signed a legal document (and the cooling off period has passed) you can't blame the company.

If everyone in this thread saying "read the t&c's" has actually read the T&C's before signing or clicking the "I understand" checkbox, I will eat my hat.  My bet is less than a quarter of the public even scan the fine print before signing their lives away, and I'd bet less than 1% of salespeople for o2/their partners make people aware of this clause that's caused so much grief.

o2 has handled this all so poorly. If they intended to do this all along, why weren't their staff making this crystal clear to punters before they signed up?  Worst of all, we're expected to pony up extra dough for nothing - no extra allowances (a few extra MB/minutes/texts would be nice), just a reminder that we can still use priority moments... Absolutely marvellous.  While I'm getting 20% off the accessories at the o2 shop (which cost 50% more than on Amazon anyway) I'll be really thankful for that!
