Mobile broadband or home broadband?

SammyS1987

Hi all, just ordered a Macbook today so I need to get some internet access at home. The problem I have is that I won't be living at my current address for much longer and I will be moving in to a place that comes with wireless in the next few months. For that reason I don't want to be tied into a contract but I can't find any home internet that is less than a twelve month contract. I do have a landline currently so that's not a problem. Is it best for me to just get PAYG mobile internet?

Thanks,

Sam

There are quite a few 30 day contracts, Plusnet offer one for example.

There will be an activation charge for a new ADSL connection rather than just migrating in using a MAC though. There is also a disconnect charge of around £25 with most ISPs.

BT charge something like £45 + VAT to activate ADSL on a phone line and £25 to disconnect it so no ISP is going to risk somebody paying a single month and leaving without making sure those charges are covered one way or another.
