									<description><![CDATA[It makes a mockery of signing up to a contract.

									<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Orange insists that this rule does not apply because the increase was catered for within existing contract Ts&amp;Cs.&#8221; I&#8217;m pretty sure that they cannot opt out of Ofcom regulations with their T&amp;C&#8217;s, and that the Ofcom requirement takes precedence. If their T&amp;C&#8217;s had said that they could increase prices up to 10x RPI per year [...]]]></description>

									<description><![CDATA[Some might say it&#8217;s only a quid or whatever, but I think it&#8217;s unfair that Orange can unilaterally change the terms of a contract with you yet you can&#8217;t do the same without expensive penalties.
