If the service has been connected and you have used it, you are deemed to have accepted the terms of the contract and are bound.

I recently came out of a contract with B T.
I was charged �90 because i ended the contract prematurely plus outstanding call charges.
They did try to charge me for the remaining amount of time for broadband as if the contract had run it's course, i complained , they then reduced this charge to the �90 standard fee.
Check your contract for such a clause.
