Broadband disconnected - help

[peepsypops]

hi all wondering if anyone has ideas please. Our house sale fell through 48 hours before it was due to go through (devastating) we had already registered a house move with Sky.
I informed them but they said it will take 7 days minimum to be reconnected 😔 I work from home normally so this is a bit difficult! Are there still dongle things you can use or has anyone used EE WiFi? I see it coming up but I don’t know if it’s any good…. I used dongles YEARS ago but they were shockingly bad. Thanks.

Can you use the data from your mobile phone plan? I have used it on data roaming & it works well.

Dongles still are shocking bad. If your phone has a tethering option, use that to connect laptops and so on to the internet.

tethering to your phone might be acceptable if you have a 5G signal and sufficient speed. But be aware of what your data plan is with your phone contract.

Or you could buy a Starlink receiver dish from Currys if you have one local, you'll have to check the minimum contract length.

So sorry to hear that!
When I’ve been stuck with no wifi, I’ve used my phone as a hotspot. It’s really easy, and since I have huge data allowance with my phone contract, it’s not cost me anything. Only works if you have decent phone signal.

Great thanks all! I upped my data to unlimited this month and worked out freeview with an aerial from curry’s. X
