    INAL, but they could probably hold you to breach of contract.

    If you signed a contract for 6 months/ a year whatever and breech that. They can easily make you pay the entire contract duration fees even if they cut you off for not paying the bill.

    Hence the reason they make you sign the contract for a certain amount of time :D

    Let the **** take you to court if they will. If someone sells you something and it doesn't work as advertised or not at all, they have no right to your money. Period.

    You'd hardly stop the DD if you were receiving the quality of service that you believed you contracted for, would you?

    Not if they aren't providing the service the contract promises. Email them and tell them that you are cancelling it because of the poor quality of service.

    Besides, if their support is anything to go by, I doubt they would even notice the DD being cancelled.

    As Adey said, you gotta go the formal way of cancelling contract. You can't just cancel the DD because then you are in breach of contract too. Just ring them, if you get nothing, get onto ComReg.

    The above is exactly what I'm going to do next week if that new radio they're coming out to install on Monday doesn't resolve ALL my problems. Fed up now. Paying nearly a grand a year for a connection that does not permit me to play online and which speeds can easily be beaten by a BT/Eircom 512k connection that cost 70% less? F*ck'em now! They had 3 months to fix it

    Well tell 'em then to either take it and replace it with a pwo modem, or just take it away full stop. Once you mention "ComReg", the Sale Of Goods and Supply Of Services Act to them, the chances are they will either *miraculously* cure your problems, or will go all wimpy and cancel the contract.
