Thanks to everyone for their suggestions about short-term broadband contracts. The property does indeed have a working BT line, so that would be no problem. Mobile broadband would perhaps be an option, but we thought it was better to look at broadband through the landline first as it seems to be the more reliable option as the mobile reception struggles to get a 3G connection. Now that I know that I'm not asking for the impossible, I will follow up the suggestions. I have used Plusnet myself but didn't think they did such short-term deals, but will certainly look there first. I have also had no problems at all using Plusnet in the past and have always found their customer services, on the rare occasions when I've had to use them, very helpful and knowledgeable. Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim Gucukoglu Sent: 26 October 2010 07:29 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Short-Term Broadband Contracts Hi Caroline. If the property has a working BT socket, Be Broadband www.bethere.co.uk can do short term contracts. I haven't the details in front of me but its all laid out on the website with speed estimations. I repeat though that you will need an active BT line and BT may commit you to a 12 month contract, I'm not sure since I don't use BT any longer. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caroline Ford" <caroline@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 7:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] Short-Term Broadband Contracts > Hello, > > Does anyone know if it is possible to take out a contract for broadband > which doesn't last at least twelve months?
