Never move into a house without internet again
Order before moving day and we'll deliver your WiFi ready to use at your new address. Whether it's a standard installation or a new-build home where the lines aren't ready yet, stay connected until your broadband goes live, then send it back when you're done.

Unwind on your first night
Stream your favourite shows and movies without using mobile data.
Stay connected while you unpack
Music, maps, messaging and more, all the little things that make a new place feel like home.
Will I get signal at my new place?
No appointment, no engineer. Just turn it on.
Our devices use the same signal as your mobile phone to access the internet. The difference? Our devices are purpose built for the job, with the latest technology and much stronger antennas than your phone.
Is there signal at my new house?
Before we send your router, we check coverage at your new address across the networks we use and choose the SIM we expect to work best there.
If 5G is available, your router will connect to it. If not, it automatically switches to 4G, so you can still get online without a landline or engineer visit.

“Ordered a temp router after moving house while waiting for our broadband. It was easy to order and very easy to use, plugged it in and we had internet. Our broadband ended up being installed earlier than expected and I was able to send the router back and received a refund for the unused days.”
