Yes if I was to go and live the north pole for a year (where I assume they have no coverage) and had a year left on my Orange contract, I could definitely terminate it under clause 4.4 (unless they managed to provide me with an alternative at no additional cost). That's what it says, surely there's no possibilty of an arguement here?
I think that you have hit the nail right on the head with your first paragraph. A contract is a very explicit legally binding document. Interpretation of such a document though can be quite complex and many people think they have found a loophole but rarely does that loophole exist.

If you were to rely on moving to the north pole as a get out with orange then you would sadly be mistaken. You would be relying on clause 4.7 of Oranges terms and conditions as set out at http://www.orange.co.uk/talkplans/tplan_tc.html which is that Orange is no longer able to provide access to their Network. Moving to the north pole means that you are moving out of their network area but you would still have access to the network if you moved back to its coverage area. Any court would laugh at you if you tried to use that as a get out.
