Did you have to buy the $9.95 CD to sign up? If so, the terms of service should be enforceable as a contract. And while down here in the States our Commandeerer in Chief doesn't understand that lawsuits to enforce contracts are the very foundation of the common legal system, you may have a leg to stand on. The original $9.95 may count as "consideration" in return for which you contracted to receive Internet service for life. A lot of guarantees for life are carefully worded to apply to the life of the product rather than of the individual. Has the Internet worn out? If not, hire a lawyer to enforce your rights. We have a few who won't be busy making sure insurance companies pay for health care according to their own policy, since Dubya thinks that contract enforcement leads to "frivilous lawsuits."
