As already stated , if you or your landlord won’t allow BT ( via Openreach ) to supply the address then expecting to be excused your contractual obligation from your old address is ludicrous…if you don’t take service you ( quite correctly ) will be liable for paying early termination charges , after all it’s not BT changing the terms of your existing contract at the old address but you ( by moving home and not continuing service at the new address ) .
If it’s your landlord that is refusing to allow this install , you should ask them to contribute towards the ETC , after all you state it’s their ( unreasonable ) demand that stopping the install, FTTP being something that many would want , it’s not like mounting a block and drilling a hole is major work , and if VM is installed it’s something that they were allowed to do, if the hole through the wall is an issue , presumably the landlord could remove the VM ‘cable’ and reuse the hole for the FTTP cable .
The length of the minimum term is irrelevant, presumably you will use Virgin at the address and that will also require a minimum term.
‘The landlord won’t allow the line to be installed’ sounds like the sort of excuse that someone would try to use because they don’t want to continue service with their current provider and use it as a way to try and get out of paying ETC , it’s unlikely to work, if the landlord cannot be persuaded, you will have to pay ETC .
