Hi everyone, we are looking to move to costa blanca from Canada this september and one of the most important criteria is highspeed internet.
I make my living online and must have great highspeed internet at all times.
We don't where we going to live yet therefor it's important to sort it out now.
One of the newish technologies in north america is highspeed wireless data cards that connect the laptop to internet through cellular providers. I am wondering if Spain has a service like this?
Any other help in this area will be appreciated as well,

Yes but you need to check coverage as some areas do not have "high speed"

Great answer thanks.
Quick Q: When renting a long term house, is it an available, offered option usually? i.e Do landlords offer it at all or do I have to take care of that myself?
If so, How long does it take for adsl to be installed?
Thanks,

currently looking at schools for our daughter. Want to get there mid to late august and start her in school this september.
We didn't find a school yet either and that's going to determine where we'll end up.

Is this your website? I see your posts everywhere...
