Broardband for 3 months

I am moving for 3 months and want a broardband connection. I have checked and BB is axvailable at my new address however I cannot find anyone who will supply for just 3 months without a penalty. Most suppliers demand a 12 or 18 month contract.

Any ideas?

    However, since last year they added a clause to the T&C's for new customers that leave within 12 months to pay £50 to cancel (covers the BTw ADSL activation charge).

    Plusnet - They have a monthly contract but you have to pay around £60 to activate the line in the first place.

    I have it at the moment and the service is ok. THey have bizarre usage limits though :confused: They also do a referral scheme but you'll need to put thaton the referral board. I'm leaving plusnet next month as we're moving so it'd be better to find a different plusnet person to refer you if interested :D

  • Hi
    Nidram,f2s,ukfsn all 1mth contract, but they will all charge you to activate your line.

    If I were you I would email the isp that you choose and ask, about their terms and conditions.

    Hope this helps

    Is there a reason why the post suggesting was removed given that it answers the posters question and it's cheaper than the other alternatives suggested?
