Broadband for only 6-months

groundcoffee

Has anyone any experience or suggestions regarding short term or 6-month broadband contracts?

I am due to move into a flat with a friend for only a short term 6-month contract. We therefore only need internet access for 6-months. The majority of providers only seem to offer 12 to 18 month contracts with high cancellation fees.

Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated.

Pay as you go dongle. No other alternative for six months.

I believe students can get 9 month contracts.

"Minimum term
The minimum term is normally 6 months (12 months for the 1TB VDSL service). Terminating early has a charge depending on how long is left on the term. For ADSL this is £15 pcm and for VDSL this is £20 pcm"

@Boliston - Do you already have line-rental?

I have always rented my line as part of the broadband service and it has always been 10 pounds per month including vat - not sure what the minimum term is for line rental though

Not true - try NowTV, freeola, and if you google those two you might find a few other companies mentioned with 1-month contracts
