Yay - I've finally got BT to release me from my contract! Unfortunately it wasn't specifically because of the Phorm T&C changes but this morning I received an email saying that they're discontinuing the BT OpenZone access that I got included with my account and 'replacing' it with BT FON instead. Aside from the fact that this requires you to share your home bandwith it also means that you can't roam on partner networks like 'The Cloud'. I complained to customer services, saying that this meant that I now couldn't use the wireless access from my usual haunts and (after a bit of wriggling) they finally agreed to give me a MAC.

Maybe some other trapped BT customers can get out the same way?

Does anyone have any good ADSL recommendations? If VM drop Phorm then I might even try them again.
