But the bigger question is honesty and character. If you signed a contract, that says you won't, then you gave your word. IMHO, you're not worth much as a human being if you don't keep your word.
And around here, for those you don't honor their word, the cable company has been very aggressive about having Theft of Service charges prosecuted. From what I saw last week in the news, it has happened in at least one other place. (Ohio maybe? That was opening bandwith on modems.)
There are plenty of ISPs which will provide such services if you are willing to pay for them.
