Don't OFCOM regulations to Early Termination Charges apply which mean they can only effectively charge you the rate at the minimum you could downgrade to, minus the costs they would save by not having you as a subscriber?
Effectively they can only charge you the minimum profit they could make off you to the end of the contract.

This is how Sky ETC's work.

So it would always be cheaper to cancel and pay the ETC than to pay the subs for the remainder of the contract. They don't tell you this when you call and ask, but it is the reality.
