Iburst changing contracts mid term?

[incaseofire]

At the start of this fiasco that they call Iburst (ironic that it's going to burst soon), they stated nothing in their contracts (I read it) that they hold themselves the right to change it without the customers permission.

I'm talking about this torrent blocking thing going on.
Yes yes I know torrents are not strickly legal, but from a legal perspective, Iburst has no right to change stipulations in the contract without my consent. I mean, if you pay for Dstv and Dstv says you can only watch Mtv between 7 and 9 in the evening, it would be insane!!?

Iburst is doing just that...we are paying for a product only some of us (3% at most) are getting and that's fast, reliable internet.

It's like they always tell us the problem is from our side and we must fix it. I can smell a class action law suit waiting in the wings for breach of contract and misrepresentation.

Its coming.....darn its coming. My advise would be to get the best lawyers money can buy.

Agreed

I've stopped paying them and I shall gladly review my decision once they provide the service that I am expected to pay for. They haven't disconnected me yet, so I await to see what happens. If it becomes necessary, I'll shall join forces with the unhappy customers to obtain a fair ruling.

Some of the wares being shared using torrents are questionable, but torrents themselves are perfectly legal.

Same as a suitcase of cocaine is illegal, but there's no law against suitcases.

I just fail to understand why iBurst would shape p2p to the extent they do. Especially at the exhorbitant rates you guys pay for your bandwdith. Once you've paid for it, it should be your right to use it as you see fit.
