Length of Service Contract with an ISP

Anybody who has a cellphone knows that length-of-service contracts can be a real burden. Under these contracts, you have to sign on for a year. If the service doesn’t suit you, you can’t quit the service during the first year without paying a fee. If an ISP that you’re considering requires you to sign a length-of-service contract, make sure you investigate the ISP — especially its billing policies — before you put your name on the dotted line.
