They would be in breach of contract but they would not owe you any money
as you would not have paid them for that period in advance. What they
would owe you is a service in exchange for the money that you were due
to pay but as they were no longer able to provide the service you would
presumably stop paying them the money.

In this case the service provider is still willing and able to provide
the contracted service so by not paying it is the user who is in breach
of the contract and the provider therefore has a right to pursue them
for the money.
