Temporary & mobile business WiFi providers

Often the challenge with the larger business WiFi providers is that they take up to 90 days to provide you with a WiFi service. They also tend to provide a long-term fixed service that ties you into a contract of up to 5 years.

Businesses often require a temporary WiFi service that offers agility without contracts. Whether this is for construction site WiFi, TV/ film productions, events, product launches or fashion shows, the above business wifi providers won’t always be suitable.

In this situation, there are some more agile and flexible business WiFi providers:

1. Wireless Solutions
2. Pylon One
3. Bytes Digital
4. Noba
5. Simpli-fi

Consumer WiFi providers

If you’re looking for WiFi for the home then there are many National UK providers as well as some local companies. 

When looking for local providers in your area, we recommend join Facebook Groups or Nextdoor and ask the people around you which suppliers they are using and what the the quality of service is like before committing.

Here’s a list of Consumer WiFi companies to explore:

1. BT (British Telecom)
2. Virgin Media
3. Sky Broadband
