I believe if they have not yet transferred you to their service, you can avail of the 7 days from confirmation cooling off period in the Euopean Directive on Distance Selling.

if you already have broadband with BT, they should be able to block the transfer if you ask them to, they only have a week to block it though from the time the order is placed with Perlico, after that, it goes through automatically.
