WiFi borrowing

A member of my family is very ill and requires a lot of care.
I work from home several days and am considering trying to work from their home, instead of going backwards and forwards but being quite elderly, they don’t have Broadband.
I’ve been using Hotspot on my iPhone today but it won’t be good enough for conference calls etc.
What do you think about approaching a next door neighbour who we don’t know well but they know him, to see firstly if they have WiFi and if so could we possibly join it for a couple of weeks.
What do you think?

Maybe get a dongle and have your own wifi

I think it’s a big ask, especially when you don’t know them

It’s not borrowing though is it? It’s just using.

Ha ha!

I think the Mumsnet phrase is Cheeky Fucker.

5G hotspotting on your iPhone should be more than enough for a Teams call.
