Internet Service in Brooklyn

My wife will be working for 6 months in NYC. She'll be living on 7th Ave in Brooklyn. Here in Ohio we are using AT&T U-verse as IP, and thought I'd go with them in NYC as well. Unfortunately I just found out U-verse is not available in Brooklyn :confused2
Can anybody recommend a decent basic broadband IP for that area? My wife is not a gamer, so top speed is not required, but streaming video and Skype should not be an issue. An important requirement will be that they allow a 6 months contract, and don't force you to sign up for a year. Oh, here in Ohio our experience with Time Warner was nothing short of a nightmare. Unless they are the only option, I'd rather avoid them
Many thanks

For a short-term stay, I would go with cable. Generally they don't require contracts, whereas DSL will. Also, if she's staying in a building, they might already be wired.
