We dropped out of Wiley-Blackwell when they refused to budge on the percent cancellation term and we couldn't cancel the most expensive journal that was getting almost no use. We cancelled Emerald when they "discontinued" our package and wanted us to pay significantly more for less content. We got no complaints from faculty.

I would be more likely to cancel the e-subscriptions to single titles (like Nature) that cost more than most of our Big Deals.
