ADSL Choice

Hey Hey!

I am just about to start another term at uni, this year am out of halls, and for the next 9 months need ADSL really, however, I havn't been able to find a company that will provide anything for less than a 12 month contract.... does anyone happen to know of one that will do a lesser term?

I cold beer for the first good response (You'll have to drive her to get it, but hey!)


Regards

SS

Seek and ye shall find...


Bulldog is one

so does Pipex (see full specifications) - a fee applies if you cancel within 12 months

plus.net too

And probably more ...

Eclipse.net.uk do monthly contracts. I'm on them and they're pretty good.

Top services are:

1) Metronet pay as your go 3 month contract
Following all have monthly contract
2) Freedom2surf
3) Zen Internet
4) Nildram
5) Eclipse
6) Plusnet
7) Force 9

Word of advice on the monthly contracts look at the small print in terms of offers for free equipment/reduced migration costs etc. If you cancel within a 12 month period there maybe a cancellation charge.

As usual there is no such thing as a freebie

Once again I'm happy to recommend Zen. To avoid the risk of repeating myself, go here for a previous thread on why. Other posters also had good things to say. Minimum contract one month. Perhaps a tad expensive if you're a student of the skint variety, but worth every penny.

btw DaySleeper - how are you getting on? Everything fine I hope.
