I agree with Rob. You may want to wait around until a provider is having a special, unless you can find a provider offering what you want for a great deal.

Planning for the future is good and all, but how far in the future are we talking? If it's a month, two or even five it's ok. But are we talking one or two years here? If it's planning for within the next five months, then sure, I can understand your want; however anything more is a bit OTT in my opinion, as even five months is a bit far ahead (However that isn't to say you mustn't plan ahead).
