Cheapest way to get broadband for 3 months?

    Ok im moving into a house for the summer and need broadband, the girls who lived there before had UPC. I tried to change the name to me but they cant so ill have to set up a new account, not too bad because i wint have to pay the installation fee.

    If i sign up and pay the 3 months along with a 100 euro cancellation fee (is this right?) thats around 160 for the summer.

    Is there any way of doing this cheaper? from what i can see there is no short term provider but what are the cancellation fees like for other companies?

    Im sure other people have been in a similar situation.

    Cheers

    Im in the same boat but am hopefully bringing my current UPC setup. You might run into trouble with a 12 month contract though, check that before you sign up. The way I'm doing it means its only a change of address and no new contract.

    You might be stuck on some rubbish like O2 broadband though.

    And check for unsecured wifi near you :D

    That's about the best you can do.


    There is no short term Broadband.

    Using unsecured WiFi is a bad idea. Recommending it could be "incitement or conspiracy to commit an offence". Check with a lawyer.
