I remember Xbox Live in like mid 2000's letting you sign up on the website but there was no cancel option. You had to call in. You were usually on wait for an hour, and then an hour of being harassed by the sales people. In theory, I don't see anything that prevents them from just endlessly passing you in a loop to prevent you from cancelling like some sort of video game mechanic. This was also when there was not really any possible home VOIP or landlines, and cell phone minutes were very expensive. The only real solution was to buy prepaid xbox cards.
