Hey guys
I'm going to North Wales from 7th-14th July, hopefully to look around the uni I want to do the postgraduate course at but if I don't get the grades I'll have to go anyway because it had to be booked in advance.
I will be away from my computer during that time but was thinking of taking my laptop and getting a dongle to give myself temporary access so I can do daily tags for you all and also check my emails for emergency messages etc. The trouble is, this particular accommodation just happens to be in a part of North Wales that seems to have extremely limited mobile internet, except where you're closer to a town or city. I could only find one network (Orange) that should work, provided I can buy the right dongle for it.
The other aspect is that I want something cheap that is also pay as you go, not a contract for a month or more because I generally don't need internet outside the house. Money is a concern here since I'm not working at present and, if I do get the grades, I will be spending a lot on course fees and accommodation later in the year as well...
Unfortunately I'm going with family and they don't know about RP and wouldn't understand if they did, nor do I wish to explain it to them, so I can't go to an internet cafe without inviting unwanted questions. So, if I can't access the internet while I'm at the accommodation in the evening, I can't do it at all. :-(
What do you guys think? I'm asking your opinions because you are the people who will be affected if I can't get online at all for that week. Should I bother pursuing this further or would you guys be happy to put the site on pause for a week while I'm away?
