 We live in France for 6 months of the year, and the UK for the other 6 months. Is there any way I can get broadband in the UK and only pay for the 6 months I am there? Which is the best short term broadband provider? 
Patricia Milton, France/UK
After giving your conundrum some thought, we felt that your best bet would be to go with Plusnet's packages 1, 2 or 3.
We recommend this because:
- Plusnet has a one month minimum contract, so you can cancel at the end of 6 months and not incur a penalty.
- Plusnet Package 1, 2 and 3 all include Line Rental and home phone call packages
- Plusnet are an extremely reliable provider (in fact we use Plusnet at the Choose offices)
- Plusnet's broadband packages are very good value for money
The downside is that you will have to pay a £40 connection charge when you sign up (this is to cover their expenses if you leave within a year) and you will have to supply your own router/modem. You will naturally have to pay this £40 every time you come back to the UK, but that will be your only expense.
