It should be illegal to change the terms of the subscription mid-period. If you paid for the full year, you should get that plan for the whole year. I don't understand how it's ok for corporations to just change the terms mid-way, and we just have to accept it.

I'm sure the T&C say something like "you're going to pay us money, and we reserve the right to give you something for it, or maybe nothing, and you should thank us for the privilege".

Unfortunately, at least for those of us in the US, there isn't legally much that can be done. It's simply not possible to make a contract that would obligate a company to fulfill its promises on this type of sale.
