Mobile broadband one-off access, large data volume required!

Hello

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.

I'm organising a karaoke cafe as a fundraising event for my son's school. My plan was to use Lucky Voice online, stream the songs onto the school's white screen from my computer and use microphones on the pa system in there.

However the classroom we want to use doesn't get the school's wifi signal. So I'm guessing I need a dongle. What I want to know is, what should I be looking for? I only want a one-time access so I suppose that means pay as you go, but I'm aware that streaming songs for four hours might use a lot of data. How can I work out how much this will all cost? And where's the best place to get a dongle?

Thank you for your help!

    why not see if you can borrow a wifi access point extender, or if the IT dept has a long cat3 cable
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Thanks for your reply. NO idea what a cat3 cable is, but like the idea of a wifi access point extender. We may have solved it another way - apparently the junior school signal can be picked up in there, despite it being an infant building. So we may use their wifi instead.
