NRC? Do you mean ETC (early termination charge)?

This is a sore point with me in all telco contracts. They want a one- or 
two-year term, or even three, and in exchange give you a discount on the 
installation and a tiny MRC reduction. But if you cancel early, they demand 
full payment for all the remaining months! I realize that the contract is 
written this way, but why? It doesn’t seem fair at all, and as a service 
provider myself, I know this is actually a huge unearned windfall for the 
provider. 

To make things worse, many providers subtly plant an “auto-renew” clause in 
their contracts. You miss canceling but the end of the contract date, and BOOM, 
you’re on the hook for another two years!

 I’ve been burned by this more than once.
