How about, "But in order to cancel, you'd have to write the super-secret cancellation department, at least three years ahead of your cancellation date, so better to just keep the service."?

....on a side note, I'm glad there's a push to make that less common. At least in the US. I'm not sure what the rules are in the EU (or NZ, for that matter), but hopefully, "as easy to cancel as it is to subscribe" will become standard everywhere.

Not really sure what to do about the bundles, though anything that reduces powers of companies to provide bad service is good in my book. It's nice when we get _good_ choices, at fair and honest rates.
