I`m desperately trying to find broadband connection.  Telefonica can`t supply me.  I live near Guadalest.  Has anyone any ideas of where to contact?

Please tell me you read the Internet in Spain page already… there are plenty of other options to check out like 3G or satellite. Telefonica even provides satellite service, their customer service just wouldn’t know that 😉.

Yes, I had read the Internet in Spain page.  I should have added to my query - “at a reasonable cost”.  I`m a home user and satellite ADSL is too costly for me.  Thanks for your reply - I shall investigate 3G and Wifi.

Hi Armanel,

What about these guys: http://www.avonlinebroadband.co.uk/

Not sure how their prices sit with you, but at least it provides 2 way satellite, and in English I would imagine. You might be able to bring in wireless or satellite Internet through them for you and your neighbours, pooling together to cover the costs.

Unfortunately the 3G isn’t going to be much cheaper.

Good luck, and if you do find something I’m sure we could all use the info. Thanks.

I`ve already checked out avonline and they are too expensive also. 

The best option I`ve found so far is http://www.wipzona.es.  Unfortunately it`s not yet available in Guadalest - they say they need at least 20 people interested before they can install whatever needs to be installed!  I know very few people personally in the area.  Is there anyone out there near Guadalest, Benimantell, Beniarda, Abdet, Confrides who might be interested?  If there were enough interest we could perhaps approach wipzona.

Hi,

Don?t really want to advertise our company here, just wanted to look around have see what people are saying however I noticed this post and wanted to let you know about getting up to 16,000 kps download using a GPRS kit + 1 way satellite system.

The GPRS systems are easily found in Movistar or Vodafone stores, my personal choice is Vodafone, but you need to check what will be ok in your area.

Once this is connecting to the internet at the slow speed you can then look in to getting a DSL pack from us, which for the basic capped 1m down feed is 6.90? per month and the top 16,000kps is 69.90?. There is a carriage charge which is normally approx 35?. Please check out our page regarding the system paste this in to the address box on i.e. Available on notebooks/laptop and standard Box PC systems.

If anyone has any questions regarding this service please let us know.

Sorry for the plug.

Hi Darren,

I think you’re sitting on that line between plug and worthy information. Let’s all lean a little to the right on this one though since

Aka, it’s all good.
