No lenthy contract.

Hi.

Im moving to a new property this Tues/Weds. Of course i will need broadband. Problem is i'll be only in that property no more then 12month if that. So i do not want to be tied into a 12/18 month contract.

And yes i will not be getting a Landline as i do not need it. so that will play a big part. Most broadband providers require you to have BT Line... Which sucks imho.

Ideally 1-3 month/rolling contract or mobile brodband.

So, i need help/advise what will be best/value for money please.

Thanks.

    Depends on location and usage, but have you considered mobile broadband? Possibly PAYG?

    :confused: Probaly because fixed broadband is delivered down a phone line.
    Apart from Virgin Media Broadband only if you live in cable area.

    £15/mo for 15Gb from 3. Could be a lot worse.

    Look in to '3' mobile broadband, 15gb for £15, cheapest deal around at the moment. Go via dialaphone and get 9 months half price. Ive recently signed up to it after being with their payg without a problem

    Handy thing is it goes with you, so your address/digs is irrelevant with it, so a contract isn't too much of an issue :)
