Cable TV/Broadband/Home Phone Package
I'm planning on staying 3 months in my house in Orlando, then 3 months in UK then 3 months in Orlando etc.
I need a Cable TV/Broadband/Home Phone Package. Bright House let you suspend your subscription for 3 months during one 12 month period so I would only have to pay 9 months a year. Dish and DirecTV make you pay for a24 months contract so they would prove very expensive when I am not there. Does anyone know of any other providers who wouldn't tie me down to paying the months I'm not there?
Thanks.

Just stump for a decent broadband and then use a VOIP service for phone and watch tele online would be your best bet...

Time Warner Cable will do a contract free service. You pay a little more per month for it. Whether you can get TWC I don't know.
And whatever you may think of TWC, It is at least an answer to the question.
Personally I'm with Bob above - all viewing needs met by online options.

Re: Cable TV/Broadband/Home Phone Package
Regardless of that, I'm surprised Brighthouse will only let you suspend for 3 months of the year - as with Brighthouse, there is no contract. But I guess they have a limit - if you were to keep cancelling/reacativating everytime, you'd have to keep taking your box back/picking it up so I guess that makes sense.
