is certainly the news of yesterday. It will be possible to terminate its subscription wireless service and fixed Internet triple play after the VAT hike.
It should be recalled that the Finance Act 2011 passed by parliament and wanted by the government includes the VAT hike. This increase actually refers only to the portion of the subscription TV suddenly, half the bill from 5.5% to 19.6%. Ultimately, the entire bill is thus found to 19.6%. The packages do not include access to the TV does not increase, and for others it will be between € 1 and € 3.
But yesterday, a blow fell upon the operators the benefit of consumers. Indeed, the internet and mobile subscribers concerned may, for 4 months cancel their subscription without penalty ... and above all keep their phone even if all the months paid does not cover the price of the phone. This transaction will therefore be very costly for operators. Imagine a terminal at 800 € with a termination after a few months.
This is actually a simple application of a section of the Code of consumption, "the contract of service", which states that in the unilateral modification of a contract, the customer has four months to be able to automatically terminated law without penalty. This therefore cancels the commitments that they are 12 or 24 months.
In addition, any customer concerned should receive an explanatory letter from the operator, at least one month before the VAT hike. However, number portability does not seem possible since there is termination.
