    What problem might that be?

    Insisting that their customers fulfil their contractual obligations?

    The 'problem' has applied to everyone ceasing an ADSL broadband line since some time in 2008. It's not just MAAF!
    The reason most people don't get charged is because they are migrating by use of a MAC, in which case no charge is made. Since you are ceasing the your broadband entirely, the cease charge is levied. You accepted the terms back in 2008 by continuing to use the service for 2 years afterwards.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Not a problem, more or less the standard charge if you stop broadband without using a mac.

    Not sure what you are saying .
    If a mistake has been made or if you are overcharged fine you fight it and dont pay .

    Or you are not going to pay a legal charge and are going to try to get out of paying what you are due to pay .I know what i call that its theft .
