Temporary Internet

real · 18 Apr 2013 at 10:19

Good morning,

I am moving to a new flat this weekend and have booked a VM installation on 1st May so need some form of temporary internet connectivity.

At first I thought I might just get a tethering bolt on for my phone but that seems like a bit of a fuss if I am in and out whilst using the phone. Now I am leaning towards getting a dongle.

Anyone know any good deals or the best way of getting essentially a two week connection for my PC?

Thanks

Added the bolt on to my mobile package in the end as I thought it would be the quickest and easiest approach.

Despite Three stating it would take four hours to activate (added at 18.30 last night) and needing access today, I'm still getting a error stating that tethering is blocked on my plan. Clueless technical support have had to escalate it. Annoyed.

I'll investigate the BT Openzone when I get back tonight.

The bolt-on was specifically for tethering.

Three finally activated the Tethering properly today.

I did have a look at the BT Wifi as an access point was within range. I was shocked at the prices: 1 hour £3.50; 1 day £5; 5 days £15; 30 days £39 :eek:
