12 month fibre contracts- do they exist?

almoststew1990 · 6 Aug 2014 at 13:21

I'm looking at fibre contracts but they're all 18 months and want to avoid standard broadband as all providers are estimating 3mbps line- I dont think I could live with 300bkps actual download speeds!

I live in rented accommodation so would like to go for a 12 month contract. Does anyone know of any?

Edit- and no Virgin at our SO18 1BF address.

Last time I was renewing with Virgin I said I wanted a 12 month contract and they said that was fine but the 6 month half price deal would not apply. That being said, you can move house within contract and transfer services as long as the new place was in a Virgin area.

John Lewis offer 12 month contracts. They're basically a reseller for Plusnet, but a bit dearer.

The John Lewis offer is okay, but only appears to be a 38Mbit connection.

With the current offers it'd actually be cheaper to take a 18 month contract with Plusnet and cancel after 12 months, than it would to take a 12 month contract with Zen. If you happen to stay longer than 12 months then the savings would just increase.

Edit: The offers have changed since I last looked so the break even point is now nearer to 14 months.

Enta resellers can (should) be able to offer 12 month contracts

Surely that's a mistake?

The sky one I just came off of was 12months but I think the new ones are 18?

I got my sky fiber pro for 12 months. This was the main thing I made sure of!! I have the letter at home stating it's 12 months. But as nutcase says it might of changed now.
