Planning on moving

Hi,  I'm new here but have been a BT customer at the same address for nearly 10 years.

I'm moving soon, hopefully, and BT broadband sucks the big one on my new street.  I can get a guaranteed 900Mb from another provider so i won't be taking my broadband with me for long if at all.  Now i have a couple of Mobile phones on BT too and yes, I know the price of those will increase by a fiver each.  That i'm not worried about.  What's really baking my noodle is the broadband..How can they get away with tying you up in it so tight?  That's just a silly question though really isn't it.

Second question 'A' is this:

BT can't offer me my exsisting broadband package at my new address.  I'm not willing to take anything less.  I have a contract that ends in November this year.  Is it safe to assume the disconnection fee for the broadband/landline will just be 6 months worth of payments plus a bit of admin rolled in to one?

Second question 'B' follows:

IF and only IF i did take BT broadband at the new address.  Would i have to take out a new 18 month contract?  because like i said I won't be getting no Halo 2 and the best they can offer me is Fibre 1.

Third question:

Will i be able to ride out my contracts on the two mobile packages to completion even though i've cancelled the broadband.  I'm already aware of the £10 increase it will occur.

You freely entered into a contract with BT and agreed to their Terms and Conditions so BT are not "getting away with tying you up so tight"

No. Your present broadband contract's remaining term time would continue but I believe your landline phone if you have one would start a new contract. 

Third question:
