I am surprised not much fuss has been made over this, we now in a era where to get modern broadband you have to commit to 18 months. (even small BT resellers cant do monthly now due to openreach been 18 months) yet the most common length of term for rented property is 6 months. So basically if someone wants FTTC or cable they need to commit to 3x the length of their tenancy agreement and hope they dont have the landlord not renewing.

I am still of the opinion if the companies had faith in their own products they wouldnt need to have such long contracts, I can udnerstand giving discounts with longer contracts but to have no short term ones available at all is bad.
