    Best short term ISP (DSL)

    Im needing a DSL provider, for about 6 months, preferably no or very high download cap, not too fussed about speed, so long as its not atrocious, the main priority is being able to get out of the contract after 6/7 months. i know people have had a nightmare with plus.nets deffered installation charges.

    Anyone got any good ideas? Im not averse to paying a bit more, but not loads.

    do you currently have a adsl connection as this makes it easier to get a no contract isp as some isps offer no contract when switching to them using a mac code.

    Hi all, im very interested in a short-term, preferably monthly ISP with high download limits...Be should be coming to the area soon....Id also have to pay for activation i guess because the flat ill be moving into probably doesnt have broadband on it. Thanks for any suggestions, appreciate it.

    Im also looking into this and I think newnet are reasonably cheap and do it on a one months
    basis. They charge £35 activation but I dont know if there are hidden terms and conditions.

    ended up going with BT in the end, got a decent deal on the 40 gig package ( didnt want the free wireless gubbins so talked them down to average 21 a month) and i can just migrate lines with it. DOnt know if you can do that with other providers, but certainly no one i spoke to anywhere else knew about it.
