Don't go for this option!

BT have a 12 month minimum contract by the way. I rented for 6 months and had to pay an extra £70 to disconnect my phone even though my Internet was through Zen and on 1 month's notice.

So, quite possibly a stupid question but;

How easy is it to acquire a broadband connection for contract lengths of time, ie. 3-6+ months in a rented property?

Reason is if I move away for a period in the UK, I would like my wife to come with me and as she works from home, or indeed anywhere that has broadband to dial into her office, she is good to go.

I have an Orange account; can this be transfered to another BT number in said rented property for example or are there likely to be issues regarding MAC numbers?

I would ask Orange themselves but I have had any number of responses for simpler questions depending on the time and country the call gets routed to.

Thanks in advance.

Aside from the usual job site suspects, no.

My wife is permanent and as she does not have any office based requirements, her geographical flexibility is worldwide.

Good luck.

Will be difficult - but maybe oDesk, Guru, GetACoder? could have some jobbies...though the competition is tough and salaries are pretty close to nothing.
