ISP And Contract Issues (was Re: Webone blocking port 25??)

[Weatherburn Natasha]

You sign the contract to say that they can change the terms whenever they
want.  Essentially you agree to that.  If you don't agree to it, change the
contract or don't sign it.

Consumer protection doesn't cover not reading contracts before you sign them
(ie. stupidity).

Is it legal to have those clauses? Doesn't some form of consumer 
protection kick in here?
