The terms of your contract will have changed and will cancel your existing one.
I am referring to them reintroducing a minimum term when customers change packages as part of this.

Well, it's coming to something when one is to expected to hope that a price rise takes place.
Another thing preventing me from leaving is that I have paid line rental upfront for a year and they will not refund this.

Neither would I.

They are probably based on the BARB figures; yes it would be interesting to compare from one year ago. The removal of the channels is bound to have had an effect on UKTV viewing figures but, given that half of the channels are freely available elsewhere, but the drop reported here looks to be higher than would have been expected.
