ETF fees and extension when moving?

Hi,

I am currently with an unlimited VDSL contract with Slingshot, the term of my contract is in a couple of month and I am not really willing to continue with them (as I had some issues recently and they were terrible to fix them).

I am moving in a couple of weeks to a new home where only regular ADSL is available (already sad in itself).

Slingshot told me that I have the choice of:

- pay $199 of termination fees

- switch my contract to an ADSL one, meaning making a new contract and extending the term for at least one more year

I find it a bit gross, it is their fault, they can't fulfil their part of the contract (provide VDSL to me) and I will be the one who have to pay fees? I this legal?

I came from overseas and I am living in NZ only for two years, so I don't really now if it is something normal here, but in my home country this is call "compulsory sale" and is punished by law.

Do you have any advise or comment on this?

Thank you.
