Wifi/Mifi with no credit checks?

Guttersnipe

It seems like a bit of a long shot, but here goes:

My girlfriend's recently moved house, into a place with no landlines. She has a poor credit history, but needs to set up internet access, either using wifi or mifi, because up to 3 computers will be in use at any one time. Is there any way of achieving this considering her poor credit?

I just bought an Huawei myfi for about £50 on amazon then pay for data as I need it from a company called giffgaff. They will send you a free sim. They have different packages called goody bags. Obviously you need a 3g signal to use this.

As above, the simple answer is PAYG.

Buy the thing outright and use PAYG SIMs. Will cost her £50 via Three with £12.50 cashback available via Quidco/TopCashBack.

Unlocked Three UK branded MiFi from ebay for £42, ex display, T-Mobile 12 month broadband SIM for £24 ebay special.

Only downside is 500MB per month limit on video streaming and downloads, browsing never stopped, even when download limit reached.

Speed where I live is variable, 1 to 2 Mb/s during the day, goes up to about 9 Mb/s in the morning and later evenings.

Cheapest way I have seen to be able to browse 24/7 without penalty, and connect more than one computer.

How poor is poor credit? With 3 computers in use what amount of data is likely to be needed.. and what is that likely to cost..

Is there any wifi hot spots nearby? shops\pubs\ bt fon points - sometime surprising what range these can work over?

What is the reason for No landline? is it not allowed or not presently fitted?

You can get mifis cheaper than the above methods from CEX, then just choose between 3gb prepaid '3' sims (about £11on ebay) or the £12 giffgaff monthly bundle. 3 is faster, giffgaff is unlimited, choice is yours.

CEX = £40.50 delivered, , plus £144 for a years Giffgaff Internet

Total £184.50.

Take the 3 Internet route and there is still a monthly top up fee.

I can't see how it is cheaper??
