Fucked over by a hosting company

When I signed up with my current hosting company (after numerous bad experiences in the past), I was assured that porn content was fine as long as it's legal (i.e. no kids and no goats).

They've now flicked the switch, claiming that my content is "obscene". They won't discuss it or say what's changed (the site has been up several months).

Their terms give them the right to suspend the service at any time and for any reason, so apparently there's nothing I can do.

I've paid them up front for the year so I stand to lose quite a bit.

Two requests for help...

1) Has anyone been in a similar situation and won the argument with their hosting company? What tactics did you use?

2) Can anyone recommend a company that will give me a good deal and, more importantly, will treat me like a customer and not a dirty pervert? (It should ideally be one outside the UK - I'm fed up of dealing with companies here. The US is probably best?)

Thanks in advance,

Chris
