    No, because it's not a fixed price contract.
    You can't leave VM unless you install or reconnect a BT-based line.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    No there isn't, that's what a contract is all about. Wait for the next VM price increase and hope it's above RPI.

    No you cannot break a contract without penalty .
    See post 2 .
    You can always ask how much to leave .
