Moving house, moving broadband, cheapest option

Hi :wave:
We're moving house in a week and I'm looking at having broadband at my new place. I'm currently on plusnet and to move my connection they want £52.88 which they say includes a £47 BT provisioning fee (the phone line in the new place is not broadband enabled, but is capable). If I cancel I've got to pay £14.99 to refund my origional porting fee to them, and as I'm on a months notice from next invoice (which is 2 weeks after the move) I'll be paying for about 6 weeks of service I don't use (I could have cancelled earlier but the moving chain has been problematic and we've only just exchanged contracts.)
OK, so - sorry for all the detail! Can anyone suggest a cheaper way of getting broadband at our new place? By cheaper I mean over the course of a year. I'm a fairly heavy user and usually do about 25GB per month :whistle: so I'd rather not be without my "fix" for too long. I'm not in love with Plusnet, they've been OK but I don't mind switching. I'm pretty sure the new exchange hasn't been unbundled so I will still need to pay BT monthly line rental.
Cheers,
Mike
