Is it possible to set up wifi use when on holiday in Wales?
I'm due to go away to Wales to stay in my
parents static caravan. The wifi they have via EE is very poor and rarely access anything online.
I subscribe to Sky and have Sky Q. Is there any way I can get wifi or set this up to be able to use my sky on the go at all?

@EH3 You can't take your wifi/broadband with you as it's a physical connection, it nsimply cannt follow you around.

Your only option would be to see if one of the other three cellular networks provides better coverage.
Note that only EE, O2, Three and Vodafone are real networks: all other cellular providers use infrastructure from one of them.

No I know, but do Sky do any deals or have any technology or devices that allows you to set something up whilst away in another location?

My Mum tried EE in the past, but the wifi connection isn't great at all

Sky Broadband doesn't supply cellular hardware. SIMs from Sky Mobile can be used in cellular hotspots but can't overcome local transmission/reception limitations.
If cellular data isn't viable then you'd be looking at exotic solutions such as Starlink.
