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 internet service provider (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.
