Because the girls have to evict from the flat by 15th Dec, there would be no point in getting broadband installed as it would involve an engineer installing a box and a contract for 12 months minimum. The girls were tapping broadband from a "gbelkin" for the last 2/3 weeks. Although the signal was low, it managed to sustain until yesterday where there was no connection at all.

This was heavily inconvenient for Je as she had to help her sister with UCAS personal statement and need to go online for her coursework etc. Sa could walk five minutes to uni library (SL) but Je had not local alternatives. Upset, Je called her dad to complain. Je's dad suggested we as a neighbour whether we can share their broadband with them for two months only and pay half the monthly fee.

We went over to flat 3/1 and explained our situation and asked if it were possible to share with them. Their flat lease expires end of Oct but they were very happy to help us out.

Thursday 5th Oct, Je & Sa paid the woman Chanelle £7 to use broadband for at least a month. Praise God. =)
