3 months notice? Who told you that? Id double check that info.

Yeah, cancellation team. It is in the terms and conditions, but it's still shit. It's a business contract so even worse then domestic terms.

If you are out of contract, then you are surely no longer bound by its terms? In your shoes, I'd probably be cancelling the direct debit and inviting them to "come at me, bro". Worked for me with Sky, quite a few years ago.

I'm not sure I've got the will for the fight and risk to my credit score. I asked them to provide me with a signed copy which they were able to, but of course it's a many page document. Their actual internet isn't terrible so probably easier to wait it out.

When I left them I said I was moving abroad.

They asked to see the tickets. They were being serious.

I told them to fuck off

On domestic it used to be on moving house you'd say you were going to Hull, which they didn't serve.

Because who'd lie about moving to Hull?

One time I accidentally opened a letter addressed to the previous tenant. It was from an ISP, and they threatened that they wanted their Apple TV box back that the previous tenant had got from them, or the price of the box. I don't do anything Apple, so, out of the goodness of my heart, I decided to return it to them (the courier collection was free). I boxed it up and waited for their courier to arrive, but it didn't happen, so I phoned them, and they insisted that I'd have to book another collection or they'd seek to recover the money from me. ( ) Fine, says I, my standard rate is €98 per hour or part thereof. I have no idea when your courier will arrive but my day starts at 7:30am, and I'll be invoicing you from then until the package is collected. Please advise by return that you wish to proceed. Please also be advised that all future correspondence will be charged at my standard rate.
Sincerely

I never heard from them again.
