Can I leave TT now?

Would I be able to leave Talk Talk after this security breach? I am truly fed-up with them. I have 4 months left on my contract. When I re-newed my contract I assumed it would be for 12 months, I only found out that it was apparently for 18 months. I KNOW I definitely did not agree to 18 months! after much hassling, they agreed to 'reduce' the contract to 12 months.
As I mentioned this would takemeto February, but if I could leave now........... without penalties I would be very pleased.

    You can leave any time you like, but, they will penalise you.
    They need the money to pay the Ransom.
    This is from todays Daily Mail
    .WHAT IF I WANT TO LEAVE TALKTALK?
    If you’re in the middle of a contract you’ll be expected to see it out. But TalkTalk has said it will consider waiving exit fees on an individual basis.

    I'm sure they'll increase the prices again before Christmas giving you a free exit

    There is the option of leaving and letting them know you won't be seeking compensation via the information commissioner.

    As they didn't provide adequate means of protecting your data.

    This could get you out of your contract penalty free.

    My sister had phone and BB with Talk Talk, few months ago I asked her to move to virgin media BB only, and now she is happy that she did listen to me.
    What happens if you push this button?

    pmduc So, if they increase the price I can opt to leave? does this include the higher Line Rental price?

    Yes providing you respond within 30 days of the email informing you of the rise .
    Personally i doubt a price increase any time soon .

    I had three within my 7 months with them. they're better at price rises than data security.
  • "Hotel California"

    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
    Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
    I had to stop for the night
    There she stood in the doorway;
    I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself,
    "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
    Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
    There were voices down the corridor,
    I thought I heard them say...

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
    Such a lovely face
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Any time of year (Any time of year)
    You can find it here

    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

    So I called up the Captain,
    "Please bring me my wine"
    He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
    And still those voices are calling from far away,
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say...

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
    Such a lovely face
    They livin' it up at the Hotel California
    What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
    Bring your alibis

    Mirrors on the ceiling,
    The pink champagne on ice
    And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
    And in the master's chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can't kill the beast

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    "Relax, " said the night man,
    "We are programmed to receive.
    You can check-out any time you like,
    But you can never leave! "
