"simply do not renew it"
... or renew now at current prices for as long as you can, and have a planned exit strategy.

Hmm, now it seems as if to ensure mankind's survival just getting off this planet isn't enough - we really need to spread our wings beyond this galaxy.
After that, well this universe is obviously doomed in the medium term, so we should be working on a way out.
I'd say things aren't changing slowly enough.
"mandate rural coverage on all networks at no extra cost to the customers (so that way even if only 1 network gave the area coverage, behind the scenes "data roaming" would occur, at a financial hit to the non covering networks not the customer) "
Here, in a remote area of Australia, domestic roaming allows a Vodafone customer to utilize the Optus network. Calls work just fine; the agreement between the networks changed a while back and data roaming is now slow - 0.5 Mbps or less I think.
In my experience TalkTalk are not very useful at dealing with grieving relatives trying to close the account of someone who passed.
We've got to the stage now of writing 'return to sender - deceased' on their correspondence after several phone calls along the lines of - "sorry, system down, no record of last call, we'll look in to this for you and get back'.
I remember hearing about IR35 'coming soon' in the late 90s, was concerned about the consequences, and decided to take a contract in mainland Europe at the time to sidestep that problem.
Roll forward 20+ years, is it only now coming to bite? Was I worried a couple of decades too early?
I think in the UK one only qualifies as an adult at 21 in certain respects: possibly drive an hgv or bus; go to prison nowadays.
There used to be more things you had to wait for being 21 to do - like being 'allowed' to be gay if the lyrics of that old Tom Robinson track were correct and you were happy that way.
I often notice on a new server that I might have hundreds of failed ssh login attempts before I disable password authentication if I run sshd on the standard port; if I start it on a non standard port there might be none, but I wouldn't consider leaving password authentication enabled.
Non standard ports = security through obscurity = no security.
No - you need to feed them so they start treating your gaff like the restaurant rather than the khazi.
Worked for my mum; no poxy dog food in her case, she asked for 'a doggy bag for the fox' when she ate out.
Up your game and the fox(es) will show you some respect and shit on the neighbour's patch instead.
Surely the "£145.18 a week, or 90 per cent of their average weekly earnings – whichever is lower" is a bigger problem?
I realise that is probably statutory; in an ideal world the maternity leave pay would not be that low. Which ideal world, I hear you ask? Well, at least certain parts of Scandinavia.
