Hi all, finally found a place to rent, will be over in November! cant wait,
I will need to install an internet connection just anyone know how I go about this? and rough ideas of price.
Thanks
Hi There
When you arrive on the Urb ask someone to point you in the direction of the Saterlite roundabout ( thats what it's known as locally) There is a cable company there doing a package which includes TV, Telephone with your choice of free calls to Europe or Local calls and 2mg Adsl ( Broadband) for €36 a month. We have had the system for 3 months and so far it has been excellent. They do charge an installation fee and also if you want more than 1 box for the tv you will pay more for installation and more per month. You can also upgrade the ADSL to 4mg for about €6 extra a month. We have found 2mg is fine for normal internet use and even for downloading, but slow when using Skype.
We origionally had Telephonica internet and telephone. They were doing a deal for €40 a month for the first year, but then it's about €60 after that, plus calls, so now we are making a big saving. Also at the Saterlite roundabout the people in the office speak english. Good luck....
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for that, I have noted it down! and we definately go there when I arrive.
Hiya,
sorry forgot to ask do you know how much the instalation fee is roughly?
Hi there
The installation cost for us was nearly €300 but we have 2 tv boxes and I think around €70 was for the second box.
If there is a television installed at the property through Torresat then this is one of your cheapest options. If you are going to be on La Marina Urbanisation it costs 21 euros a week for your internet and includes free calls to England. You pay about 6 cents a minute for calls in Spain. There is a charge for connection but I don't know what the deal is at the moment. Hope this helps.
Hi Eve, yes there is English TV in the property so we would only need the internet? Did you mean 21 euros a month or week?
