    Hi

    I’d like to give my MIL a smart home thermostat but they have no internet in the house. The nest etc don’t need broadband, but they do need a connection.

    Does anyone know what the cheapest option would be to get her thermostat online? Are the dongles cheaper than a landline?

    I guess the thermostat won’t eat much data... so it’s really just the connection I’m after.

    Thanks,
    Karel

    I don't know about dongles but the last time I was searching (although it's a few years back) Vodafone's "Simply Broadband" was the cheapest from a bad selection!

    At the time is was 30 euro per month but has steadily increased and is now 45 per month.

    I have no idea if this is still the cheapest available line based broadband though.
