Hi,

Can anyone suggest an ISP that will give me the following?

1 Month contract
No upfront fee
No router required, will provide my own.
Small monthly download limit - probably around 2 Gig

I'm considering Plusnet, but would like a few more options if possible
--
Cheers

Peter

Are you migrating, or activating a "new" line? If migrating, are you
currently with a BTwholesale-based product, or another LLU operators
product?

Are you expecting to get an e-mail account from them too? For example
Onetel gives adequate (but no better) internet access but their e-mail
service is <expletive deleted> and their DNS servers are no better.

The nearest neighbour is half a mile away and it's the local police
station. They may well be unwitting....

No-one in their right mind will offer free activation of a "new" line
with a 1 month contract, unless their monthly charge is inflated to
cover their costs.

Apparently Plusnet offer a 1 month contract with no upfront charge
(providing you use your own router), and you stay with them for 12
months.
