I am always wary of providers that want a large upfront prepayment or a 'life time subscription'. They cant sustain, yeah its great as long as they are growing and adding more customers, but at some point the bubble will burst on the subscription ones. As for the ones that want large upfront prepayments and offer a better than normal plan for fronting that much money that suggests to me that they are strapped for cash and need the money to stay in business, which sends up red flags in my mind. They may not all be that way, however I see that as a major warning sign. As for what you can try to do to get your money back, if the provider is unable to provide the service for which you contracted, and you paid by credit card (or debit card in most instances), and you are within your window of dispute (normally 60 days but may vary) you can attempt to initiate a chargeback. Basically you call your bank, explain that you didnt get what you paid for, and try to get your money back. That has worked when one company filed bankrupcy recently and people that had prepaid balances were able to get their money back. If the company is no longer there, they may not even be prepared to dispute the chargeback which means by default you get it, however there are some circumstances where this wont be the case.
