Virgin only option?

Options
We recently cancelled our virgin broadband(about 3 weeks to run)and signed up with Now. Problem is openreach came round and said though we have a wire coming from their box it seems to have been cut off just short of the house. It is under our quite new driveway so no chance we will let them dig that up.
We should receive a final report over the weekend,not too hopeful though
So it's looking very much like going back to Virgin is our only option ,but before I sign up just wanted to check if there are any other options I'm overlooking. I did have a 2 week trial with three mifi 4g but the signal was terrible
Thanks
Donovan

    There are four mobile networks in this country, Three is not the only one.
    Get free SIMs from o2, Vodafone and EE and see how you go with them.

    Which mifi have you got? Some of them quick slow due to outdated spec.

    Is your area 5G?

    No not 5g yet, it was the Three mifi that they supply.
    Strange thing openreach keep making new appointments to come round even though we've said absolutely no way to digging up drive.
