Nice to see all the barrack room lawyers out in force again in this thread.

The contracts are 100% watertight. End of story. People seem to think that just because they didn't fully read the contract, this somehow makes it unfair when they get caught out by something they didn't read. It doesn't.

If you sign up to a service for 12 months, you have to pay for the service for 12 months. I can't believe people are somehow suggesting that THEM making a material change to the situation (IE moving) is somehow ntl's fault and they should be released from contract.

If you don't think you're going to be in a property for 12 months, don't agree a 12 month contract.

Try telling Sky you're moving to somewhere they cannot service (yes there ARE such areas) and therefore you want out of the contract.

Once again, people will argue black is white.

As an aside, the poster in this thread should have some redress as he was specifically told that he could cancel if moving to a non-cabled area, but this is still not part of the contract.
