Broadband but moving in the near future

Options
Hi, wondering if anyone can help! 

I am currently living in temporary accommodation and have been using my mobile hotspot to work from home but my provider has been working on a local mast which is making working difficult!  

So my question is, can I get broadband knowing that I will be moving in the near future?  How do I chose a broadband that would have a good speed where I am currently and be available in the area I move to?  Also, would drilling be involved when getting broadband as I would be unable to allow that where I am currently living.  

I may be overthinking everything but I don't want to tie myself into something to find it's no good when I move!

TIA

    There are providers that won't tie you into a 12/18/24 month contract but you'll pay more from the outset.
    You may want to look at whether you can take your fix to the new dwelling. 

    Your speeds are determined by the infrastructure in place already, so "good" will be subjective.  Hop on a comparison site and see what you could get, now and where you're going to.  As to "drilling" - depends.  May already have a BT based line in place just disabled.  If that's the case and its otherwise working, no further work needed.
