I am moving houses soon and planning to live in my new place for about a year. I need an unlimited broadband for it. There is currently no phone line, so I would need either to get my own and pay for installation or go for one of those fee free Virgin deals. Assuminh I stay in that house for a year snd I need unlimited broadband, which of the current deals would represent a best value for me ove a year including all promotions, discounts etc?
P.S. Don't need any other packages, TV, Weekend calls etc. just a broadband

Tesco Broadband £19.75 per month unlimited internet including line rental and free evening/weekend calls. Also includes free caller number display. Use Quidco/Topcashback and a code to get 3 months free.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Have same problem want only internet no landline. Has to be powerful enough for my son to play on his PS3. Any other suggestions?0

The only viable and affordable ways to get broadband usable for gaming are VM cable or ADSL.
ADSL needs a landline although you don't need any call package.
Even though VM cable doesn't need a landline it pays to get it with the phone option and cancel that later - free install and half price for 6 months if you take the phone and on most packages you only save about £3 taking broadband only.0 -

If your exchange has muti isp options then :
Be* Broadband for truly unlimited with no throttling or shaping broadband which starts at £17pm for upto 12meg (£22 for upto 24meg) paired with Primus Line Rental Saver at £6.79 per month would be a good option to consider.
Both are 12 month contracts not the longer 18 which would be useful on for you time scales.
Primus charge £69 for BT openreach to come and connect a new line.

That could be be some what offset via the £30 cashback of be*broadband via you usual cash back sites.0 -
I think sky broadband unlimted and virgin media are the only truly unlimted all the others have a fair usage terms.0

Virgin have FUP & port thottling.

Sky seems to be very poplular as one of the better known ISP for un-thotted useage.
The downside is the high SNR default settings (which lowers speed) & no fastpath just interleaved .0
