can the free PlusNet or Sky broadband deals be cancelled?

Hi,

I have rented out a flat for 6 months as I don't know if I will want to stay here after that or not. I was looking at the broadband deals and the 6 month ones are around £30 a month (inc line rental) where as these plusnet and sky deals are free with an additional £15.49 line rental if paid upfront. So I think its better if I take the 12 month contract and pay upfront because it will equal the same as a 6 month contract and also give me a choice if I want to stay after 6 months or not.

My question is after these 12 months am I still in a contract or am I free to leave? Also if I have paid them upfront, can I quit after 6 months?

Thanks,

If the provider gives an offer for 12 months, then that is your minimum term. If you leave within this time, there will be a penalty to pay. If you leave at the end of, or after this time, you are still in contract until you give the required notice which is usually 30/31 days.

Sky no longer allow you to pay line rental in advance (line rental saver) and the line rental is £17.40/month.
