Automatic renewal of a fixed period contract is illegal in th EU. They can enforce a rolling contract with a cancellation period (often 1 month). Anything else is classed as unfair contract terms and is not enforceable.

There are exceptions to this, such as if you get a reduced price for having the service for a longer term, but the worst they can do is make you pay the higher rate. Just send them a letter telling them you are terminating the contract, giving them a month's notice. After that simply stop paying them.
Thanks for confirming my ideas on this.
