    What's the best BB ISP to use for under 12 months?

    Hi all,

    Moving to a student house later this month from Sept, and moving out June next year...

    I was considering getting O2 broadband as it appears to be hella cheap anyway (esp since I'm on O2), but I know some companies have flexible broadband contracts like Be*, but they're far more expensive.

    Any recommendations? Doesn't need to be that fast, just preferably unlimited.

    Thanks for the help!

    i'd just use O2 - especially with the £50 quidco refund (http://www.quidco.com/o2-home-broadband/), and dont worry about the extra months you have to pay for.

    Ah the setup fee is quite beastly compared to the O2 one which is free lol...

    £50 cashback?! So for the whole year, broadband is something like £16?!? Winner! Thanks

    I was going to suggest O2 too, but registering via TopCashBack.co.uk . TCB's the same idea as Quidco, but they offer up to £100 cashback on O2, and they don't sting you for the £5 annual fee that Quidco charges.

    Re: What's the best BB ISP to use for under 12 months?

    Oh thanks for the lookout! I'll be getting the £100 one for sure, but since I will be quitting once the 12 months are up, surely I will be making profit?? lol o2 are on top doing the first 3 months free!

    EDIT: Ah, I see now - £50 off the first package, £75 off the 2nd one - I might as well get the 2nd one then Thanks!
