Contracts can not be changed unilaterally.

It's illegal. A changed contract is a broken contract.

The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 state :-
Quote:
(c) making an agreement binding on the consumer whereas provision of services by the seller or supplier is subject to a condition whose realisation depends on his own will alone;

(j) enabling the seller or supplier to alter the terms of the contract unilaterally without a valid reason which is specified in the contract;

(k) enabling the seller or supplier to alter unilaterally without a valid reason any characteristics of the product or service to be provided;
There's a whole bunch of other stuff in there that ntl ignore on a regular basis.
