Broaddband needed with no 12 month contract - help!

I am moving into a rental property on a 6 month lease and need a broadband service. I do not want to use virgin media as they have a 12 month minimum contract. I do not need a home phone service either as just use my mobile.
So my question is - What is the best broadband service to go for? I am a medium usage user and there is a telephone socket already in the property - I do not want to pay out money for a bt line if I don't have to - again 12 month contract not needed.
I've spent the morning looking into this and am no very confused!! :huh: The broadband companies certaintly don't make it simple.
If anyone has done the same or has any advice it would be most gratefully received.
Thanks, Billy.

Ther are a few broadband providers that offer no contracts however if you cancel within 12 months you get a charge of some sort due to what they call defferred fees so be careful.
I think plusnet offer a no contract package if you take no modem as do virgin media (non cable) also id net or namesco.
you may have to pay a small fee to leave but its better than larger isps that bill you for whole contract.0 -
You'll need a BT based line for the vast majority of providers, the only other option is mobile broadband. So first you should find a landline provider that require you to be with them for 6 months or less.0
