Not worth the battle, man. As annoying as it is, you signed the contract and now you have to pay. It's not extortion that they provide good rates in rural areas but they can't compete inside the city. It's just life. I'd be pissed too, but them's the breaks. Pay the fee and never sign another contract again.

I wouldn't go this route necessarily at first. The reason these companies drag their feat so much is taht 99% of the people wanting to get out of the contract are just having buyers remorse or are unwilling to fulfill a commitment after getting a sweet deal up front.
In cases where the consumer has geniunely been wronged, the corporations will usually fold if you are persistent in a confident yet non-aggressive way with them.
Make sure to read the contract and ensure they are upholding their end of the bargain. By not offering you service it sounds like they aren't.
Like the previous poster said there is also the possibility to assign the contract.
I worked for telus for years. For the most part we just stonewalled people, but we also had to back down when we were clearly in the wrong. People on the front lines had no power but upper level managers most certainly did.
