If you cancel your BigPond Broadband ADSL service, the cancellation fee is $360 pro rated for the months remaining on your contract term.
For example, a BigPond Member who cancels their contract 9 months into a 12 month contract may have to pay a termination fee of $360 x 3/12 (where 3 is the number of months left to run on the contract, divided by 12 months) = $90.
