If you are moving to an apartment or a complex ask them if they have interquest. I have interquest at my place...I pay only $49 for T-1 (Its not dedicated to my apartment solely, but it will never eb shared by more than 4-6 units) and thats plenty of speed for a few units to share, and no one here really uses it but me.
Something to look into.

let me put it this way. anything is legal for sbc cuz they have enough money to hire tons of lawyers just to fight against u in court if it gets to that stage which i highly doubt. but that's not the point, with money, almost anything can be made to look like it's legal.

This is exactly the way my Speakeasy DSL contract works.
The deal is that if you move, they need to do some work on the hardware end to get your new place hooked up. This is what the contract term is recouping for them (low service charge, but a guarantee they will get enough money out of you to make up their cost).
While it sucks to start a new contract, what are you going to do? You're in your existing contract, and you're not going to pay the penalty to get out and switch. I am 99% sure this is all completely legal and layed out in your existing contract.
This is what my contract says about the "Terms of Service"
Speakeasy is the best ISP I've ever had, I don't plan on switching anytime soon. Their techs aren't COMPLETE idiots, they send me email about expected outages, AND if there is an unexpected outage, and I get CONSISTENT 1.5 / 384 service, static IPs, and FAST pings. I love them.

This is what my contract says about the "Terms of Service"
Speakeasy requires all broadband installations and inbound switches to commit to an initial service term at least twelve months in length. Service terms may be extended for additional monthly increments due to specific offerings or promotional terms. Service terms are required to offset associated costs of service acquisition, and for Speakeasy to maintain innovative broadband policies and service features for a sustained period of time. Your initial service term begins once our vendor declares your circuit as up and running on Speakeasy's network, referred to as your Installation or Activation Date.
In the event of a service move (if you move and have the service installed at the new location), a new initial service term will begin again from the date of activation at the new location. Additionally, in the event of a switch from another ISP to Speakeasy, the initial service term will begin from the date that the ISP switch is completed. Requests to have your circuit switched to an alternate service provider at anytime during an active service term with a specific order will be subject to an Outbound Switch Fee to cover Speakeasy's provisioning expenses
