What is short-term broadband?

What is short-term broadband?

Short-term broadband is internet you take for a few weeks or months instead of signing a 12 or 24-month contract. With Short Term Broadband you get a plug-in 4G/5G router delivered the next working day for £39.99 a month on a 30-day rolling plan, with no engineer visit or phone line needed.

How much does short-term broadband cost?

£39.99 a month on every router, including VAT, with unlimited data. There's also a returnable deposit: £25 for Everyday, £50 for Everyday+ and £10 for On-The-Go.

Is there a minimum contract length?

Every plan is 30-day rolling with a 30-day minimum term. There's no fixed-term contract. After the first 30 days you can stop at any point with 30 days' notice and no exit fees.

Can I get broadband for just a couple of months?

Yes. Plans run month to month with a 30-day minimum term. After the first 30 days you can stop at any point by giving 30 days' notice, so it suits stays of a couple of months as well as longer ones.

Does the router need a phone line or wiring?

No. The routers connect over the 4G/5G mobile network, so all you need is a power socket. The On-The-Go router has its own battery and needs no socket at all.

How quickly can I get online?

Order by 4pm and the router usually arrives the next working day. Once it's plugged in you're online in minutes. Weekends and bank holidays can affect delivery.

Is it suitable for a holiday let or Airbnb?

Yes. The router plugs into a socket, so there's no phone line to install and no holes in the walls, and guests can connect as soon as it's set up. Everyday+ handles up to 32 devices for larger lets.

Can I use it on a construction site with no address?

Yes. You can use the service anywhere with a valid UK postcode and mobile signal. No phone line or fixed infrastructure is needed.

Which router should I choose?

Everyday (up to 60Mbps, 16 devices) suits flats, short lets and site offices. Everyday+ (up to 500Mbps, 32 devices) suits full houses, shared houses and serviced apartments. On-The-Go (battery, about 8 hours) suits caravans, events and trips.

What areas do you cover?

99% of the UK. The routers use the mobile network, so speed depends on the signal where you are and where you put the router.

How does the deposit work?

The returnable deposit covers the router, which belongs to Next Day Broadband Ltd: £25 for Everyday, £50 for Everyday+ and £10 for On-The-Go.

Send it back in good condition in the pre-paid envelope and the deposit is refunded within 7 days. Late returns may cost £100.

What if it doesn't work for me?

There's a 14-day money-back guarantee for genuine cases where the service doesn't meet expectations. It doesn't apply if 5GB or more of data has been used, and it isn't meant as free broadband while you wait for another provider.
