When you signed up, you probably got some kind of promotional deal for new customers, right? For example, maybe you paid $19.99/month for the first 6 months and then the regular rate after that. Those offers are always based on a contracted length of service. They offer the promo rate based on the fact that they'll make it up by having you as a guaranteed customer for a set period of time. Just like with cell phones where they give you the phone for $9.99 with a 2-year contract. You may not have physically signed anything but by accepting the terms of service, you agreed to the contract.
