UPC Changing Contract. Can I get out?

clearz · 2011-08-02 13:40:22

Hi All, Just got a letter from UPC saying they will be raising my limit from 20Mb/s to 25Mb/s and cap from 250GB to 500. Can I use this to get out of my contract. My 12 months aren't up until November but I really want to get out of my current house ASAP since I'm living with a thieving knacker. Thanks, John.

Call them and ask? I think it would only kick in if they change the amount they bill you (which I believe they are).

Yes you may, you inform UPC that you are not accepting the "new" contract terms. You may have to give 28 or 30 days notice of termination under the current contract, do check.

You may still be held to the old contract though.
