Temporary internet Connection for Live Streaming

Hey guys,

Putting on an event in December and one of my mates helps to run an internet radio that live streams DJs and we were talking about the possibility of live streaming one of our nights.

Has anyone got any experience doing this?

It would be video and sound that would be streamed and gear wise we should be sorted. (the guys that do it normally run from home with a laptop (on wifi) webcam and soundcard using Ustream on their own website.

The pub the nights in has a phone line but the only thing that is the problem is an actual internet connection.

Is there any service providers that would do something like this for a day or 2? or will it be too much hassle to organise all this?

Any thoughts would be welcome! :)

Thanks

Any other buildings nearby with wifi? If you can get any wifi signals in the venue, it'd be worth knocking on a few doors and offer to bung them a tenner or something to use thair connection for the night?

Forget any temp ADSL/VHDSL lines, they will cost a mint (like £60 connection + 12 x£30 min, and take 10 days to activate)

We've just done exactly that with a new venue that needed to open with PDQ's but couldn't get a line and broadband installed in time. Draytek router, 3G USB dongle, Robert is your father's brother.
