Broadband options for a six-month flat lease?

Hey all!
Just moved into a flat on a six-month lease and will be sticking to that duration.
I do a lot of work on the net so need to rely on a broadband connection.
I've been looking into the options including the 3 offer of 15Gb for £15 a month - but that's a 24-month contract (will be shuttling overseas at the end of the 6 months so the extra 18 months would be useless); the Vodafone 'unlimited' mobile broadband offer for £20 a month + £25 for the dongle (on a 12 month contract, so not ideal); BT (but that's 12 months); Sky (thru BT so again 12 months); and so on.
Does anyone else have any more suitable ideas on ways I can get broadband up and running?
I'm in a block and we don't have Virgin so that's out. And apparently beinternet don't service this postcode either!
Thanks for your help!

Any of the following do BB via a BT Phone Line for 30 day contracts;
IDNet, Newnet and I believe Zen.
All excellent companies.0 -
You don't say if you already have a BT landline physically installed in the flat?No free lunch, and no free laptop

Thanks guys - have gone with the Voda 12 month business mobile broadband tariff at £20-odd a month. Getting 3g+ here so the speeds are more than tenable.
Thanks again!0 -

If you click on the More Info button for the 15Gb offer you'll see that as I quoted above, this is only applicable on a 24-month contract. Who wants two year contracts on mobile broadband!
Thanks anyway.
You are right, sorry. The one month option is £15/5GB0
