Hi,

My friend has recently moved to Derby and is looking at getting broadband for her house. Chances are she won't be living there for 12 months, so she needs an ISP with either a one month or six month contract. Are there any ISPs that are cheap that offer this kind of service? Not bothered about speed or monthly download limit (as long its not completely crap). She has a BT land line, not sure if there are any phone/broadband packages that would offer a better deal.

Any help would be great thanks. :)

1Gb a month - I know she isn't a heavy user but can someone manage on just on 1GB?

Probably not these days, but for an extra couple of pounds you get a 3 GB limit package ;) Also, you can top up if needed for something like £1.20 a GB (Never needed it myself)

Last thing you should know...

12am > 8am is off peak which = unlimited usage between those hours (Though I don't think she'll be using her connection at that time of night anyway lol.
 
a 12 month contract on o2 is cheaper than any of them and if and when the need arises to cancel just pay teh remaining part of the contract (saying this mind you need an o2 mobil contract to make it really cheap)
 
Only go to ADSL24 if your going to go with them on their other partner (if they have one started yet), as their Enta connections are ******* ****, Enta's gone way downhill now, all their resellers are going to go elsewhere.

If they havn't got another one going yet though, then i know Vivicati have, so could go to them on their other partner for a cheap monthly service, just stay away from the Enta side. :)

I'm moving house next week, looking for something similar for about 3months. I'm leaving BT at the moment. I am wondering would my BT Voyager 2091 router work with other ISP's? Or if i go for a new ISP do i have to buy a new router? Thanks
 
Thanks people - O2 seemed to have a good offer but turns out they can't provide a service where she lives. BT are the only ones who can.
 
Unless she's on one of a few particularly strange exchanges, that should be BT Wholesale (and thus dozens of ISPs) though O2 should offer Home Access too in that case.

:rolleyes:

I know there was a few days of low speeds while Enta did the IPSC switchover. But that was ages ago... Been normal for me for the last couple of months;)

Who's your ******* **** Enta connection with?

Well the other isp need bt line to run only cable doesn't.

Voyagers are locked to BT you can try and unlock it but it's not worth it most isp will offer free router anyway.

Contracts don't mean that much now days if your not happy you can normally get out of it without penalty but really for the best deals you need to be going with the 12 months boys.
