New build house - new line?

10 Posts

Got a new build house that has no connection. The developers has put piping down for the cable to be pulled through to the house.
I ordered Virgin Media as I need the speeds but its taking forever.
Looking for the cheapest solution for Broadband in the meantime. 4G/5G is a no-go because the signal isn't good enough.
I presume I have to pay for a line to be connected to the house, but I'm only expecting to have to use this for a couple of months max.
What is the cheapest solution I can go for? With BT you seem to have to sign up for a long contract which I'm looking to avoid.
Thanks.

There are very few companies that provide month-to-month contracts.
I'll have to pay to get the cable pulled through and expect to have to pay a contract for a while...I'm looking to minimize this cost as much as possible - the total cost over the contract - that is what the question is about...
I would think if you preferred supplier is VM and are prepared to wait for Virgin Media , and only want a temporary solution until VM get their network into your property, the only option will be mobile 4/5G , even if you can find an Openreach based provider that offers a month to month contract and not a 12/24 month one , Openreach will not spend the money necessary to hook up for a month worth of connection, they will charge the ISP for the installation, and ISP will either expect you to sign up to a long deal to ameliorate the install costs over the length of the ‘contract’ or they will charge you for the installation as a one off connection fee.
Yes. All networks poor.
