Im on BT 8meg 18 month contract
I live in a student house sharing with 2 other guys, when we took the contract we thought we would be keeping the house for 2 years, now it will only be one due to circumstances, which means I need to forfeit the contract
I was just wondering if I can cancel the contract without any consequences, i havent got any written contract here to read about but dont want them chasing me for 6 months use of broadband when I wont even be here anymore

you'll probably have to pay up the remaining or a cancellation fee - i doubt it'll be cheaper either.
Have a look on their site as im sure it'll be in the T&C

Ending your agreement for the service
14. If you want to end your agreement, you may do so by giving us 30 days' notice.
15. If you are using any services applications or features which are free of charge, these will end on the day your agreement with us ends.
Doesnt say anything about cost, but also doesnt say ending early does it?

Ending the service
8. When you end your broadband service outside your minimum period and do not request and use a migration access code to move to another service provider, you will have to pay a cease charge of £6. You will not have to pay this charge in the event you are moving home and we are unable to provide the service at the new address.
9. If you end your BT Total Broadband agreement within the minimum period you must pay a charge by way of compensation to us. This charge will equate to the total of the monthly rental charges left in the minimum period. This charge is not subject to VAT. We may also charge you up to £45 for any equipment we may have provided to you as part of the service.
Shite.....dont suppose I can get of it by saying they dont actually provide an 8meg service can I? As my line is limited to 6.5meg and they told me this yet still have me paying for 8meg?

no, the T&C will state that they will try to provide UP TO 8 meg connection - people were taking them to courts a few years back about this and ISPs now state that they will try to provide up to xx meg connection.

But they arent trying are they? By limiting my line speed / not providing a line capable at off peak times to provide the full service? Couldnt they have said to me when I gave them my postcode to go for the 2mb / 4mb option as I could realistically achieve this speed?
