    Orange haven't breached the contract so you wouldn't have any grounds to terminate, certainly ask about a refund on your line rental though

    If you lose signal in the home, you can sometimes cancel as they are no longer providing the service in your area where you took out the contract. You have to give them time to fix the mast (30-60 days). If they fail to do so, you can usually cancel but must return the handsets if they came with the contract.

    If you moved house inbetween taking out the contract and the problem happening then no, as that was your choice not theirs.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    The handsets are MOBILE phones, not home phones. Ive spoken to Orange before about it and they say loads of things affect signal, weather, time of day , thickness of walls etc. The best you can get out of it is a reduction in the bill, good luck with it!
