    Broadband for 9 months?

    Okay people, anybody have any good suggestions for an ISP for broadband for the 9 months I've got remaining on a lease? My problem is that most ISPs have a 12 month minimum contract, where they charge you upwards of £50 if you terminate before then. This includes Virgin.net and others that claim they have "no 12 month minimum contract" until you find it hidden in the terms and conditions. The connection is to be shared between 4 users, so we're looking for 1 or 2Mbit, with a reasonable download limit (5Gb is too small, more like 10-15Gb /mo).

    Thanks for any help you can give.
    If you can't keep up, stick with reality...

    plus charge you an installtion fee or something, but they'll let you have monthly billing.

    Don't go for freedom to surf, since that's exactly what I'm doing and I don't want everyone jumping on the bandwagon and using all their bandwidth.

    http://www.f2s.co.uk - £25/month, 2Mbit (8Mbit if it's available), no caps, monthly contract, £50 activation fee.

    But as I said - keep off, I want that bandwidth when I go back to uni.
