  • I have found out I'll be without internet for a week, starting Monday. This is a pain as I work from home... Has anyone had this issue and found a work around? Reception is quite poor where I am so I'm not sure hotspotting will work well...

  • Try and charm a neighbour into giving you their wifi key or maybe use BTwifi or similar. A lot depends on location.

  • I'd have a look at one of those coverage checker websites to see if there's another network that has better reception in your area. See if you can expense a PAYG sim

  • I got a sim for a different network that has better reception (I did have to walk around the house to find the spot with the best reception, the variation was huge going from 0.5Mbps in some places to 35Mbps in others). I used an old phone for the tethering.

    I found that 30 day pay monthly sims were much better value, just ensure you cancel it within the 14 day cooling off period (I was actually told I'd get my full money back which seemed a bit surprising given I'd used 90GB of the 100GB monthly allowance).

  • Mikrotik LTE router with cheap high-gain external directional antenna.

    I have one you can borrow if you’re near East London.

  • Local library?
