Hi all, as some of you will have seen were moving over on the 1st June. I work via the internet and I need a secure connection to be able to earn a living. My new Landlords have told me that the neighbours have internet which is a weight off my mind, however I can’t help wondering about the speed they have as its quite a rural area.

I host webcam conferences and need to be able to send live video, I don’t need to receive it and delay is ok as long as it isn’t jumpy. Does anyone know what the coverage is like in Pedralba, Valencia?

Also does anyone know which company would be my best shot? I’ve heard some stuff about WiMax but have no idea what it is or how to go about getting it. I want to call Telefonica to see where we stand but with the language barrier I think I’ll be on the phone a long time and without topping my mobile up by ?50 it could cause a few problems.

Thanks guys

Emma & Luke

HI Loads of options available, but really dependent on what is in your area,
I would say as you require video streaming your vol/speed requirements are going to be quite demanding.
So that puts out dial up, and dongle with 3g,
therefore you need to enquire in your area as to the availability of one of the following

Local provider via cable
Local Provider via Microwave
telefonica landline

if none of those are directly available you may then need to consider a Sat internet solution, which can be quite limiting with the highest i know of at the moment as being 10GB per month for 99? per month, download speed is usually about 2Mb with upload about 356KB

First stop is network your neighbours for their providers and see if any fit your need,

if your neigbour is close enough and he has a good connection, consider picking up his monthly cost and put in a Wifi router, to allow you to piggy back,

I have the tel number of specialist in your area if you PM me
