Hi guys! I'm moving back to London next week and I have to have broadband at my new place. The only trouble, I don't have any UK credit or debit card and I don't have any friend who can sign up for me. So, I'm a bit stucked and don't know what to do.
Any ideas?

If you have a BT phone you can have it added to your phone bill.

Well, I have spoked to them earlier, but they advised me, I can have a BT line with almost nothing, but unfortunately since last week, they need a credit/debit card for the broadband.
Any ideas?

Yeah, I was thinking about these cable services, but none of them is available in my area. I've tried both NTL and Telewest. It seems like Homechoice is available, but they need credit/debit card details as well.

Unfortunately I don't have any bank account in the UK. Not even a basic one.

The most likely thing to do is open a bank account when you get back to the uk!!!!!

Yeah, I know, but it takes time and they need some stuff I don't have yet, like a utility bill and some other things. The other thing is, it's not that easy to open a bank account then it was before. And I will need an internet connection as soon as I get back. I mean in max a week time.

This should help you....
They offer prepaid credit cards no questions asked, just be carefull as I am sure the apr is high but if you keep things within reason I am sure you will be fine.
