And don't be bullied by misinformation from customer support teams who often unfair clauses in the Ts & Cs that seem to give you no choice.

Typical clauses are "if you do not agree to this change you have x days to respond". No you don't. No court would see your lack of action to be taken as implicit consent. You may want time to seek legal advice. The communication may not have reached you (BT seem to email me via an account they chose to set up that I never read, despite me saying my email address was x@y.com).

Other arguments the ISP may make is that the changes don't significantly alter your arrangement and you as a signatory will not suffer penalty from the new changes. This could be harder to argue about, but I doubt in the current climate of data loss and identity theft that you couldn't successfully argue your case.

Don't be bullied. IANAL.
