I'm coming home from my holidays in a few days. I need an internet connection, a fast one, but I'm leaving again for my job in 3 months. Is there any provider that provides an unlimited broadband plan for the period of time? I contacted Pacnet and they said their minimum contract is 12months. For M1, it's 6 months.

U can consider the MaxOnline FlexiSurf, which comes with no contract.

If you do not sign up with the promotional prices, I believe the Broadband providers such as Starhub can allow you to sign up with any contract.

T&C states
min 6month continuous usage if not $30 penalty

Yup the shortest contract period would be 6 months for both SH and M1 Cable BB lo...

However, M1 6 mths contract come with additional 20% discount whereas SH doesn't...

You can sign up the BBoM. Singtel have 3 months contract for BBoM as VAS.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Anyway. I think the M1 thing is too expensive. Does anyone have the link to the Singtel service?

And is StarHub very torrent-unfriendly?

Which M1 thing is expensive?

Tot M1 is like the cheapest for short-term fixed BB contract? Lol...

Yup I think the prepaid mobile BB is unsuitable for a 3 month usage too..

Hello...
Most of the company now a days provide 2 month free subscription after that if like you will have to pay 2 month bill if you continue it. But if you don't like it just do not need to pay anything...
