I have Sky TV but cannot get the internet connected up for around a month.

I would like broadband in the house for Netlix through the Wii and for my phone in the meantime.

I do not have a laptop or tablet; is there a pay as you go device I can use without having a laptop in the house?

I had one about a year ago but I remember it was a USB that I plugged into the side of the laptop.

Any ideas?
Thank you

Thanks - I only really need it for 4-6 weeks so hopefully I can control my Netflix addiction during that time!

What you want is referred to as a "mifi" device.
