I see four possible outcomes, with the second and fourth being the most likely...
1. Allowed to cancel with no ETF.
2. Has to pay ETF in order to be free of it.

4. Keeps the service and learns a lesson about knowing what you're buying.
Ignorance is no excuse, and all that matters is what's provable, like a recorded sales call.
Unfortunately, too few people adequately research what they're buying, which they should make sure to do, especially when whatever it is comes with a contract. It's a pain to learn that lesson. :(

I do know one person that canceled with no ETF. He more or less told them that he would return their equipment, but he was not going to pay them another cent.

He also operates strictly under the table, and certainly doesn't give a darn about his credit, so number three is also a possibility. He's a good painter and pressure washer though. I hire him once a year to pressure wash my house and gutters.
I get the feeling that the landscape is littered with broken satellite internet contracts, especially with the misleading marketing that's going on.
