6 month broadband

Hi all.
I'm renting a flat for six months. Anyone know the best option for getting fibre broadband for just six months? Most contracts seem to be 12 or 18 months.

My SD is a student and has had hers on a monthly contract with Plusnet - costs a bit more as you might expect0

Plusnet does indeed off no-contract broadband, for £23.99 per month (+£50 activation). However, this is only regular broadband (10Mbps) whereas I need something faster.0

What about 4g? EE have a 4g router w/ wifi (there is an unlimited data deal)

Interesting idea, thanks. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I couldn't see an unlimited deal, only expensive limited ones, like 50GB per month for £40 + £100 activation., so £340 total for six months!
By comparison, Post Office Unlimited Fibre Broadband is £20.67 per month (according to MSE), so £248 for 12 months.0 -
Better still is this NOW Broadband: 36Mbps Fibre with Free Anytime Calls for £25 per month. No activation fee, but £90 cashback through Top Cashback. Equals £210 for 12 months.
(Also includes Includes 6 months NOW TV Entertainment Pass.)0 -

Try HomeFi from 3 (unlimited for £22/m)

That HomeFi deal is a 24 month minimum. But I'm only looking for six months because after that I'm expecting to move to somewhere with Hyperoptic.0

In case anyone is interested, Now Broadband will put you on a rolling monthly contract if you pay a £60 setup fee. So that's what I've done. Monthly rates are the same as if you took a 12 month contract.0
