Temporary broadband

6 replies

Itscoldouthere · 01/07/2020 14:08

We are moving at the end of July, staying at a friends (empty) house.
We need good broadband for about 2 months. Does anyone know how to get good broadband without a longer contract?
Thanks

What about one of the dongles that you pay monthly for? No idea of speed etc? Or if you have decent data allowances on your phone contract you could just hotspot from your phone?

I got this store.three.co.uk/view/content/mbasket?basketUpdationFailed=true when I moved into my new house and was quoted a few months to get a sky line installed - one month rolling contract and never had an issue with working and streaming stuff at the same time.

@Charteta your link doesn’t seem to work.
What’s it called? My son has a phone contract with 3 so could be an option.

Sorry - hopefully that's better www.three.co.uk/discover/devices/huawei/4g-plus-mifi?memory=0&colour=Black - there are lots of plan options (select more plans) with different contract lengths and data allowances available.

Yes I second the three mifi dongle, traditional broadband was very late arriving to my location and this was my main broadband for three years - no problems at all and was actually faster (though more expensive) than what I have now.

@Charteta @Jillhaspeakyponies thank you both I will look it up and give them a call. It’s all a bit stressful as we are moving into temporary accommodation and my son has to resubmit some university work so broadband is vital.

Hopefully this will be the solution 🤞🏻
