broadband temporary moving

Hi, I'm due to complete on my house in a couple of week and my new property will not be ready for around another 6 weeks, so I am having to go and live with relatives.  They do not have a phone line nor broadband!!!!!!   I'm working from home and also my teenage children use the internet constantly.   Can I have a phone line and broadband put into my relatives house and then move this to my new house 6 weeks later or is there a simply solution than that?  thanks in advance everyone x

    No is the basic answer .
    Phone line depends upon what is required to install  . line from pole or digging and laying cables . Would be on a waiting list anyway .
    Best solution would be for a mobile dongle and use network .

    Why not consider a MIFi solution or even something like Three's home Broadband which use the 4g network. - look here http://www.three.co.uk/store/broadband/home-broadband. There are no installation charges and you can take it with you

    Surely you (and your kids) could manage for a few weeks by using your mobile phone and rationing use of the internet - you never know, you might start talking to each other.
