Why not improve the existing system, by modifying your father’s computer?

Anyhow, whether you do or not, I think:

“Yes - cancel the new contract, and be sharp about it.
You may only have a short “cooling-off” period left.

BT Infinity is a total rip-off, and I am inclined to think that your best solution would be to look into getting a 4G mobile broadband “pay-as-you-go” system:

IF coverage is available, with adequate data, at an acceptable price, in your area.

Then use the existing hard-wired TalkTalk router whenever you can get satisfactory exclusive usage of the link,

….. and use your 4G mobile router as an alternative, when your father will not relinquish his unbelievably selfish hogging of the TalkTalk system.
