If somebody supplies you with a service that you never asked for it's a gift. You're under no obligation to pay for it, and you can sue for any incidental or consequential damage you suffer. So if you are "churned" to a different ISP just don't pay. If your service is disconnected, sue. If the ISP is so large that your damages are no real penalty then seek punitive damages large enough that they do hurt the ISP. There's plenty of case law to back this up (including houses accidentally built on the wrong block of land.) ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed. |
