If you are on a 12 month contract with a 30 day notice period, you are able to give them notice to terminate a minimum of 30 days prior to the expiration of the 12 months. Otherwise your contract will last for longer than the minimum 12 months. Using your example you would have 13 months!

If you sign a 12 month contract which requires 30 days notice to cancel, it doesn't mean you can't *submit* your notice before the end of the 12 months, just that you can't end it before that date.

i.e. - submit your notice to end 30 days before the end of the 12 months and you aren't tied in for 13 months that way.

As for Front Row, it definitely states somewhere, either on the television itself, in the paperwork or on the web, that these broadcasts are non-recordable.

(Its a bit like renting a film from the movie store - they're illegal to record)

Its not difficult to work round. Record the other programme instead and order the film at a time you CAN watch it. Don't they start something like every 15 minutes?

Or did you want to be able to keep a copy of a newly released film, which you would have to pay about a tenner for minimum, for about £3??

Hi,

If you move? You take the service with you 'til the end of the 12 months.
If there’s no NTL in your new location? You have to provide proof of residence– with a utility bill – and therefore proof that there is no service, though they’d probably wangle that to say it was your particular location that was an anomaly, and you still had to pay.

You have evidence that they would do this then?

I assume that "as a landlord" you are talking about an Assured Shorthold tenancy. In fact the contract is very clearly for a minimum of six months, with a 30-day notice period after that.

In this case I would understand that the earliest the tenant can move out is 6 months from commencement if he/she gives notice 5 months from commencement. Am I wrong?

(assuming no breach of contract and that one month = 30 days).

Sorry this is off-topic but it probably isn't worth starting a new thread on it.

I was told by NTL when I started my agreement with them that I would be upgraded to 1 meg service from 512k for free after 1 month. However, I lost 2 months of internet usage due to a fault and when I finally had it back and asked for the upgrade I was told that I would have to sign for another 12 months. This wasn't explained at the time I signed. I won't be going with ntl again - just counting down till august so I can cancel them.
