Dear Colleagues:
I will be in France for one month, next February. I rented an appartment in Montpellier. The flat has a land line, however no Internet connection. What is the best way to have an Internet connection in France without signing a one year or a 2 year contract or ruining yourself? Does somebody knows or have an idea?
Thanks
Conrado

Is that what they're called in English? I have a "Clé 3G" but it also needs a 1-year contract - as does the one in the link.
To be honest, I don't know of any way - I hope someone else does. I don't imagine you want to spend all your time in a cybercafé, although they aren't expensive.
I advise you to post this in the French forum to bring it to the attention of all the French-speakers based in France.

The "USB Stick" will probably do it.

I do not exactly know about france. However, I recently met someone who worked in Germany for a few months and had an UMTS stick (not very fast but ok) which was handled like a pre pay card for a mobile phone. Internet access was available wherever there was connection to the mobile phone network. I see no reason why this shouldn't be available in France. Have a look on sites of French mobile phone companies.

If you've got a landline, you could use dial-up for occasional surfing (if you've got the patience!), as Bohy suggests, and buy a USB stick for larger, faster downloads.
I saw the Orange USB sticks at the FNAC the other day. They cost about 80 EUR and, as someone else mentioned, are charged up with pay as you go cards. I didn't see any indication that you had to commit for any amount of time.

You could perhaps try the phone company, too, if you know who your provider will be. They may have a (more expensive) internet package available which does not involve a year-long commitment.
