6 Months Only - Best Deal?

I've just moved into a flat in Northampton. I'm only going to be there for 6 months and I need broadband.

It seems to me that most companies offer 12 month deals which is not good to me as after 6 months I will be moving .Can anyone offer any suggestions for getting some good value broadband for just 6 months? I don't currently have a phone line and virgin media cable is not available

Many thanks in advance....

    Plenty of 30 day rolling broadband contracts, the problem is line rental. Everyone but the PO will want a 12m contract for that.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Dongle no good? I have a 3 dongle on a rolling monthly contract. Good signal in my area and I'm not a particularly high user, so if 5GB a month would be enough for you that's one option. I pay £15.98 a month, plus initial cost of dongle which wasn't very much (sorry can't remember now).
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    A few monthly line rental options:

    http://www.zen.co.uk/home-office/voice/phone-services.aspx
    Our services, including line rental, are 23% cheaper than BT and begin at just £11.22 per month. All this and a minimum contract of only 1 month, just like our award-winning broadband services.

    When comparing against other provides please remember that all our packages are on a 1 month contract, all calls* are billed per second and we only have UK based support staff.

    * It's FREE to transfer your line to us on a 3 month contract, or you can choose a 1 month contract for a one-off fee of £4.99.
