Need broadband with just a month notice- cheapest

Hi,

Like I say above I am moving country soon so only need a month notice. Only small usage and I can only get speeds of 512k. However I might be here for a year so it is working out the best one.

I have been looking at Plusnet 9.99 a month and only 47 if leave within a year. Any body knows any other good offer.

Thanks

In this poster's case this would be what is happening as he will be moving away at some point - ie the line will need to be ceased. and hence the cessation charge would be applied to the ISP, and thus passed onto the customer.

Obviously a migration to a new provider doesn't involve any form of cease on the line, hence no fee can be applied.

No need to say sorry. I should have made clear that cessation was different to cancellation in the first place, so yours was a timely reminder.

Hi there,

If you are a relatively low usage customer, then our Option 1 package would be ideal for you. It is a monthly contract and as you have stated we would require a

The cynic in me wonders if this is a way of getting a little more money from people who are migrating to cable or is it a valid charge I wonder?
