Can anyone help. My GF has just moved into a new build and according to Money Supermarket there's only 2 broadband providers currently that'll offer a connection and both are very expensive. She also is only going to be there for another 5 months so a 12 month deal (which both providers are only offering) would really be a waste of money.

Is there a good mobile broadband provider anyone could recommend that we could use on a rolling monthly basis to see us through? She only uses about 15GB a month herself but we would now be also looking to connect the Firestick to it as well.

Get some extra data on her mobile and use it as a hotspot.

I have a 3 broadband router but it's on a 24m contract, £15/m unlimited data. Works really well IF you have a good 3 signal.

As said, just use the mobile as a hotspot. You can get a 20GB a month sim only for a fiver these days.

Remember, using the firestick as a streamer with netflix etc, will eat through data.

Cheaper than fixed line broadband and unlimited data.
