    Hi,
    A provider cancelled my contract. I have been given the choice to either

    a) sign up today for broadband only for E59.99 per month for 12 months

    or

    b) wait until Tuesday for a new box and get tv and broadband for E55.00 per month for twelve months

    We don't watch a huge amount of tv but it would be handy to have cable instead of using chrome cast all the time.


    I there any way to pay as you go on internet with dongle for example?

    Or if I use my phone 4g as hotspot would that be suffice use to view images / google maps / stream movies until new box arrives on Tuesday?


    I don't really understand how much 1gb gets you in terms of movies / using internet etc. Would appreciate if anyone could let me know so I can get around issue of no internet.

    I need to stream videos to learn how to do something that I want to learn by Wednesday for example. Videos are an hour long each and I don't want any delays in learning so it would be great if someone could help me understand how many gb gets me what for example!

    I have 26.24 GB Data Allowance left on my phone. Would that get me through or is there another way to have pay as you go internet that isn't completely rubbish :D

    Your 26 GB of remaining data allowance on your phone would be plenty between now and Tuesday. I stream and download lots of content
    but rarely go over 26 gigs in an entire month.

    But only as a stop gap. You need regular internet.
