Cancelling mid contract without exit fees (plusnet)
I entered a plusnet contract end of April, and want to exit early, mainly due to the terrible speed/performance and because I will be moving.

Short Term Broadband deal
I'm moving back to my house next month (which I've been renting out). It's possible I may sell it but not immediately and I need broadband in the property. If I sell soon I don't want to be in a long term contract. I'm wondering what my best option is based on my situation.

Right to Cancel during contract
I have been with TAlktalk since 6 Jun. On 20 Jun my speeds dropped to 100 Mbps and I’m meant to be guaranteed 500Mbps. On 4 Jul the connection went altogether! I know that I can cancel without fees if I suffer 30 days of below guaranteed speeds, but is there a shorter period for no connection at all?
