    There are monthly broadband deals but it's the phone line which will have a long contract and may cost you more.

    I reckon you're only real option that wouldn't involve early cancellation fees would be 3G. I use a 10GB per month Three 30day contract SIM for a holiday caravan in a MiFi type device. The question is would that be fast enough and offer enough capacity?

    From reading this, I presume you are going to leave your own house empty and not have a housesitter who might want to access the internet. In addition, an empty house is likely to attract a higher insurance premium which may offset any saving on broadband.
    Are you for real? - Glass Half Empty??
