If I could meet the person who invented termination fees for month-to-month service, I would break their arms.
A provider who can cut your service off immediately for non-payment and charge you to cancel your plan, BUT which cannot be penalized for shitty/failed/falsely advertised service is lead by criminals.
Contract pricing, with termination fees and terms which do not allow for reciprocal credit for failure to provide the contracted service (i.e. without an SLA) should be fucking illegal.
