Temporary WiFi suggestions

MrOneLung

We are moving tomorrow and will be without TV/wifi packages until end of next week. 

And suggestions for best way to access internet for a week or so, that is not via our phone data ? 

Just want something that you just plug in and the kids can watch TikTok and play online to their own content, and for us to stream Netflix and iplayer etc to our tv’s 

thanks

5g/4g WiFi dongle/hotspot might do the trick. You can get unlimited on the 3 or Vodafone network for about 28-34 quid a month on. 1 month contract .Check coverage before buying thou if you can.

You could get a data only sim from Smarty and pop it in an old phone. You can get unlimited data for £20 quid. Worked for us when we moved recently.

And get a Data only SIM of your choice from these people. https://www.scancom.co.uk/

Should support up to 10 devices. Only 4g though, if you want 5g you have to spend more.

Cheers all. Will have a look.

introduce yourself to the neighbours and ask if they mind you using theirs.

genuinely this is what I did and they couldn't have been nicer until ours was up and running after a week or so

Try and plug old router into ports on wall in new gaff and see what happens. Slightly different, but I went from Tiscali to BT years ago and was told it was all dead until a set date, and that I had to wait for new router to be delivered (and pay delivery). I plugged old BT router that I already had into the wall and got 3 / 4 weeks free WiFi. Just kept new router in a the box in the loft.
