Maybe a different choice of words , but I pretty much agree with kb10000 . Only point of argument could be that I feel that
a. Since not allowed to sell/gift/whatever
b. Cant be used with other operators - which was "supposed" to be mandated - not sure where we are on that now
They are morally obliged - not mandated/required - but as an ethical practise - to atleast provide the exchange/upgrade as a service if possible - without making a loss
Agree TOTALLY.
If they dont permit us to sell, nor transfer, then they should put an upgrade plan in place else we will be left collecting expensive paperweights over time!
Just to clarify - I have been using a connection that has been in a friends name for over 3 yrs now. I purchased the PVR, the HD PVR, paid for Three Annual Mega Packs, Annual Maintenance contracts etc etc - all using my credit card. Do I care - I honestly dont so long as I can use the service. But I dont like to be told I "cant". They had adviced me to change the ownership during the Annual Mega PAck renewal - since otherwise all the credit in teh account will lapse. I agreed. My pack was getting over on 3rd of Jan 2011. Its only when I read @mhsabir 's post here that I even came to know the rule had changed effective 30th Dec 2010. I have now called and registered a complaint. Normally I would call it bad luck and move on. But in this case my earlier requests, and their response to it, are on record. So lets see what they have to say.
