What can the penalty be for teminating early when there is no charge anyway? Unlike BT who charge you for the line rental if you terminate early, Primus does not necessarlily have your line rental.

The T&C clearly rate to the CPS but i have just noticed it also says.

1.3 Either Primus Telecommunications Ltd or the Customer may terminate the Service by giving 30 days written notice to the other.

and

11.1 Without prejudice to their rights under this Agreement Primus Telecommunications Ltd and the Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith in the event that:
11.1.1 The other party is in default in its performance or observance of any of its obligations under this Agreement and in the case of a remediable breach, fails to remedy the breach within a reasonable time specified by the non-defaulting party in its written notice to do so;
11.1.2 An interim order is applied for or made or a voluntary arrangement approved, or if a petition for a bankruptcy order is presented or a bankruptcy order is made against the other party, or if a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy is appointed of the other party’s estate or a voluntary arrangement is proposed or approved or an administration order is made, or a receiver or administrative receiver is appointed of any of the other party’s assets or undertaking or a winding-up resolution or petition is passed or presented (otherwise than for the purposes of reconstruction or amalgamation) or if any circumstances arise which entitle the court or creditor to appoint a receiver, administrative receiver or administrator or to present a winding-up petition or make a winding-up order; or
11.1.3 either party serves not less than 30 days written notice of termination upon the other.

So it seems that the 12 month contract rolling on clause is worthless.
