If you get desperate and if you have a generous data allowance on your mobile phone then it is possible to use the phone as a temporary "router" (mobile hotspot/tethering) but your new router should be with you soon, hopefully .....

An expensive way, tethering.
Almost all providers do not allow this in their inclusive bundles.

Yes, he was being sarky alright!

What you need to know is that all of these 'top of the range' routers that they send to you 'free of charge' are more 'bottom of the crap'. My Virgin Media router is pretty much the same.

The better ones you have to buy yourself, although independent makers' routers don't seem to connect to VM's cable for some reason. I don't know about Talktalk, though, but I have heard they're not the best.

Three, Tesco, BT and TalkTalk are amongst those who do permit tethering:

http://kenstechtips.com/index.php/te...on-uk-networks

Tesco Mobile

On Tesco Mobile, you can tether at no extra cost on all tariffs that have an inclusive data allowance.

Three

Three allows you to tether on all of their Pay Monthly contracts at no extra cost.

BT Mobile

As of June 2016, BT Mobile has changed their policy so as to allow tethering on all tariffs. This includes Pay Monthly contracts with a new handset and SIM-only deals.

TalkTalk Mobile

You can tether on all current tariffs available from TalkTalk Mobile.
I'm with BT Mobile and I get 200 mins, Unlimited Texts and 500MB Data for £5.00 pm (discounted, SIM-only).

Re: I Have No Internet.... Boo Hoo! Please Send Food Parcels

Some 'Internet down' time perhaps doesn't hurt. We probably all spend too much time on computers, the Internet and social media of one kind or another. I sometimes pine for the old days when none of it was around. The trouble is I can't give a good reason for thinking this.

I love you all and don't forget me......
Only just caught up with you Arty. Birthday celebrations, Tour de France, finish Wallpapering, and fitting in the running.......And some bloke is coming round to fit a new boiler next week so it's been a bit hectic here. Sorry to hear your life support system is being interfered with.....Look out for a parachute drop of essential items.....Chocolates, flowers and spectacles so you can see the digits on your phone......Oh, and a hug....

This has taken me ages to type on my phone!! TalkTalk come back all is forgiven!!
Have you not got a tablet of some description? I can use my phone as a portable hotspot and connect my tablet to that when I'm out and about.

Failing that - Internet Cafe?

ETA - I'm with GiffGaff 4G
