Short & no contract broadband explained
Normally when we think about getting broadband we're pretty resigned to the idea that we're going to have to sign up to a 12 or 18 month contract. This can be extremely irritating, especially if you're moving house, a student, you discover you dislike the ISP you sign up to, or if you find a much better deal 20 minutes after signing up to a 12 month contract!
Disconnection fees can be pretty steep, so signing up to a broadband package can be quite a commitment. However, a new generation of broadband packages have materialized; short and no contract broadband which provide much greater freedom.
Perfect for:
- Those moving house and can't sign up to a 12 month contract.
- Students who will not want to pay for broadband during holidays.
- Those who want the freedom to shop around regularly for better deals then this style of broadband package could be just the thing for you.
The downside:
- Connection and up-front fees often charged.
- ISPs tend to charge more for short or no contract broadband.
What can I expect?
- A 3 month, or no-contract broadband package as opposed to 12 month.
- No disconnection fees for ending your contract.
- The freedom to shop around before you commit to a provider.
Though with more ISPs offering short-term broadband packages, competition is leading to lower prices.
