Suggestions for temporary internet
Looking for suggestions to get me internet for the next 2 weeks.
We’re new to the UK, and just moved in to a relatively new house near Oxford. I have signed up with Zen / Openreach for 1.6Gb service. However, they can’t activate it without an engineer visit (I believe they need to replace the ONT), which is not going to happen for 2 more weeks.
In the meantime, I’m using a TPLink 4G with a Scancom “Unlimited” Vodafone SIM, which I’m finding out is capped at 600GB. It’s myself and my wife and our two adult children, and at our old place, we used ~400-500GB/Week. We’ve been taking it easy and limiting streaming (And the 4G coverage has been somewhat intermittent with lots of dropping, so the streaming we have been doing kind of sucked), but are still at 350GB after the first week, so need to find a better option before we get cut off.
Our phones are through 1p/EE, and work OK outside, but can’t reliably hold on to a phone call. I picked the Vodafone sim based on the Ofcom coverage map, which shows Vodafone and O2 as good options for our current location, with EE being variable indoor and 3 being variable outdoors.
Is my best option just to get a second SIM, and activate it once I hit the limit on the first? Are there any better options?
Thanks
