This is one of the problems of moving. If you are buying your lawyer should put something in the contract about leaving the property free of restrictions, if you are renting then a problem as the BB supplier, with whom you have no contract has a flag on the line that prevents the supplier being changed. If you get any bills from the supplier just return them marked gone away and hope the previous residents realise that they are being billed for something they can't use. Should clear up in a month or so unless there is a non-payment issue, when it gets tricky.

What sort of wilf are you?
I suppose you asked them to cancel your newspapers, tell the gas and electricity companies, cancel your insurance and even your mortgage?
It's your responsibility and if they are still using it while you're paying for it then you only have yourself to blame and shouldn't be wasting the law's time on it.
Contact your ISP (and anyone else you didn't think to bother about) and tell them you've moved out and ask for your account to be closed. You will NOT be able to back-date it - it's nobody's fault but your own.
On the other hand, if you're daft enough to believe that, even though your accounts have been closed, the fact they've signed up with the same service provider who has re-used the existing cables, they must have your old account then you really shouldn't be allowed out on your own.

I doubt they're breaking any law. Unless their presence is preventing you from getting your broadband up, why worry? With the later case where your broadband provider and previous tenants are the same, I don't see why the broadband provider wouldn't switch over to you once they verify that you are the new tenant?

How long has it been? I assume it's not costing them anymore for you to use it until it expires. Quite often broadband takes 30 days of so to disconnect, providing you don't exceed any ownload limits they have and you can get online use it until it disappears.

It is your obligation to inform your telephone service provider (say BT) and also your ISP that you are moving out and no longer require their services at that address. If you have not done this then you are still being charged. Get on the phone and sort it out.

Disconnect it by ringing up the provider or even connect your PC to it, run up a bill and wait to see what happens
