BT Broadband Phone TV Price Rise

I have been a BT customer for over 10 years (service was okay - not brilliant). It is only today that I had enough.
I will have to pay to have a new router and Freeview box (had them for 5 years now) - new customers get them free.
Its not bad enough that we don't get the same great rates as new customers (my broadband was £20.00/month more expensive than new customers, and that when you do get a better deal they increase the price 1 month into the new contract.
Having contacted them I was told they sent me an email 2 months ago announcing their increases (this email I never received - "must have gone to junkmail"). So I lost out on my free cancellation period.
Now I have been told I have to pay £270 to cancel my contract.
I find this whole matter galling - so I will stick out my contract - but will NEVER EVER again be using BT. Looking into changing the service at work as well. Lets see how much they want to charge for that.
Do I have any recourse on how to get out of my BT contract?
