I am travelling to a Spain soon and I will be working from there a week. The place that I go to has no internet. The internet from my internet provided (O2) is not enough. What are the options? Thank you

In what way is your O2 "not enough"? Too slow? Too expensive? Too little data?
Are you paying for working there or is an employer/client paying your costs?0 -
I have just investigated a little more. I have O2, 30GB data. The roaming limit is 25GB. I am paying for working there. My company allows us to work up to a week per year in Europe. I will be working only 20 hours. I have just checked my computer and as my calculations, I used around 10GB. I will be working from a computer, not from the phone. The thing is, can I give internet access to my laptop from my mobile when I am abroad?0

You can usually set up a phone as a mobile hotspot. So that it broadcasts a WiFi signal that you can connect other devices to. On my Android phone, it's in Settings, under Mobile Hotspot and Tethering.While you're there, it may be worth chacking how much a pay-as-you-go SIM costs from a local provider, with a few gigabytes allowance.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
