Back then that wasn’t a thing, but now telecom providers in Portugal are required to offer plans with no contract lock-in, although those plans are more expensive.

Agree that for consumer contracts this can be pretty nasty and feel predatory. I don't have this problem with my non-KYC prepaid providers though. So I do think that there is a solution.

Yeah, some way to reduce the cost. But like you said, that kind of clause should be in the contract. I went through something similar with a telecom contract for a place I had to move out of. I still had to pay the remaining 4 months.
