Short Term mobile connection

My sister recently moved house, and as it's a new build will only be able to get FTTP, but not until next month at the earliest.
Can anyone recommend a cheap provider of a 3/4G dongle that she can use until then? She won't require a huge amount of data.

Worth looking at Giffgaff for the plan and buying a cheap 4G router or MiFi device.

Does she have data on her mobile? Depending on requirements it may be cheaper to tether to that and buy some extra data.

EDIT : Just to add you will need to check which mobile providers can provide the area as the options may be limited by coverage - Giffgaff use O2

Thanks for the thoughts. She's with a small provider for mobile, the name of which escapes me for the moment, but I don't think they allow tethering.
I'll check out GiffGaff for her,

I think Ofcom require tethering to be allowed these days.

Both are 100% owned by Telefonica UK Ltd.
GiffGaff's 4G speeds can be significantly lower than the competition. Test before committing.

I wouldn�t bother with giffgaff as they don�t have unlimited data regardless of what their advert says. Simplest option would be Smarty if you want the Three network as no contract, no credit check, and month to month. If three network is not very good in the area a company called Voxi do unlimited data over Vodafone.

+1 for info ref Smarty and Voxi

Voxi is Vodafone btw, not just an MVNO that piggybacks on their network. In much the same way Smarty is Three...

Thanks for all the suggestions, however Openreach have been round at my sister's new house today, so she'll be able to get FTTP from BT without a delay, so this is no longer required.
