I cant find a single provider that will allow me a monthly contract

I can find ones without the setup charge but then I'm paying for >8M
when I can only get 512k so its not worth it. I would imagine half
of rural Devon/Cornwall is in a similar position.
The only way you'll get a monthly contract and no set-up fee is by going
with someone that has their own kit in the cabinet. BT Wholesale charges
ISP's a connection fee for every subscriber. I'm not sure how much it is
now, but a few years ago it was about Â50. So if the ISP doesn't have
you locked into a contract, they'll pass that fee on to you rather than
try and recoup it over the course of a year.
But if you already have broadband then you can generally migrate for free. Rob -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
