C4 have certainly changed their way of doing things since they took over in Aussie / NZ. Some changes will be for the best, others... less so. But as a lot of C4's customers are tied into the whole 'you use it or you lose your customer-base' scenario, they have little to no choice but to roll with somewhat draconian behavior by manufacturers cum suppliers.
I guess many people don't quite understand the gravity of signing up with those companies when they put pen to paper and commit.
This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers. #makesonosgreatagain
