moving house need temp internet connection whilst waiting for install of new permanent connection

I'm moving on a Friday and Sky cannot visit until the following Wednesday to install the new broadband connection. The mobile signal is poor, so I need a temporary connection in the interim. Do Sky offer any options?

@GrahamJ82

Afraid not. It's not financially viable for any ISP to make temporary arrangements because the subscription rate for a couple of days wouldn't cover the costs.

@GrahamJ82 If Sky cannot come out until a set date and you have no usable mobile signal for a temporary 4G or 5G mobile broaband service then there is no way on earth Sky would be able to provide a service as there won't be a fixed line there. Unfortunately you will have the earliest date availble.
