Broadband with no minimum contract??

ms4

In AOL's Terms and Conditions:

"Broadband Gold is also available to consumers living in an ntl broadband-enabled area"

However I think you would still have to take out a 12 month contract.

Unless you really need broadband, you could always use pay as you go dialup.

To reduce the amount of time you spend online, you might want to try a dial-up accelerator service such as www.onspeed.com - this gives you close-to-broadband speeds via your normal dial-up service by using clever real-time compression/decompression techniques to cram up to 500k's worth of data down your 56k dial-up connection. It costs £24.99 a year (£2.08 per month), so you'll have to do your maths and figure out if having an "up to 10x faster" dial-up connection will save you more than £2's worth of calls a month; it stands to reason because all the websites you visit will download in a fraction of the time. I understand it works best for graphic-intensive websites, and file downloads (e.g. photos).

Virgin do, however, make a charge now if you cancel before 12 months

Zen and Newnet, I think, have a month's notice. Newnet does a residential broadband connection from between £13 and £14.

Are there any 'hidden' terms and conditions? Like needing a BT line, diconnection and activation fees etc. I only need to use it for july and august.

Thanks.
