Which temporary broadband is best?
I have just been told by Sky that we will need to wait one month!!! for an engineer to come to our new house to connect Broadband etc. They have advised I get a temporary broadband or hotspot from BT. I only need this for one month but it needs to be good enough for our computers (my daughter is doing her GCSE's) and my husband works from home one day a week. I was told by Sky on the 24th April to call "closer to my moving date" which I told them was 23rd May. I'm absolutely livid but the woman (this time) was extremely helpful and advised a temporary broadband. I'm not very savvy and would appreciate any help on which is best. Thank you!!!

Re: Which temporary broadband is best?
@FionaW63 The only temporary solution is going to be a pay monthly mobile broadband without any minimum term, a search on google will returm plenty of providers who provide such service.
You'll need a dongle or 4G/5G router which you'll need to purchase.

Note that 'BT' is not relevant in this context. As @GD1 indicates, the only realistic option is cellular broadband, preferably by using a router which can take a 4G or 5G SIM card with a generous data allowance.
BT Halo 3+ Ultrafast FTTP (500Mbs), BT Smart Hub 2
