Broadband without phone calls? Is it an option

2010-03-12T20:28:51Z

Hi, my name’s Bernard and although I live in the UK I own 7 apartments in Torrevieja that I rent out as holiday lets. (The long term plan is to sell a couple of them and buy a villa to retire to). I don’t have phones in any of them but I would like to install wireless Broadband without the possibility of making calls - so that my guests can use their laptops but not run up huge phone bills. Can anyone tell me if this is a possible option, and if so, which company I should use? Someone has already suggested Telefonica to me but I don’t know whether they are recommended.

Telefonica vs. Ono

2009-10-20T14:50:12Z

Hello,

I know there are a lot of Telefonica dislikers here. I was just wondering what people think of Telefonica vs. Ono.

Recently I noticed Telefonica is much cheeper then my Ono service (TV+Phone+Internet) for 10 megas.

Any thoughts??

Help! I can get a landline but not ADSL, how can I get reliable internet usage?

Heeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllppppppppppppp!

I really need the internet for my new business, but have been told by both Jazztel and Telefonica that they have no ADSL coverage in my area!

Although Telfonica will give me a landline….

have you ever tried to cancel service from Vodafone if you have no vodafone mobile? I will tell you that it is impossible, they will not accept email or give telephone numbers apart from 123.I have even driven 40 miles to shop where I made my contract ( now finished) the staff there could not or would not help me.Barbhawth

Hiya,

Does anyone have any experience of wimax broadband on the Costa Blanca or elsewhere? We’ve been offered 2 meg SDSL (following a site survey),and heard positive things about the customer service of local provider, but all the feedback I’ve had locally has been from people who are not dependent on it for their business, ie leisure browsers… I would very much welcome any feedback on reliability, contention and any snags we’ve not uncovered - before we sign a lease on a house Telefonica have no intention of ever laying a landline to…

thanks in advance,

Promises Promises from Jazztel about selling 20MB

2010-01-29T15:56:42Z

For one week I changed from Telefonica to Jazztel because with Telefonica I had only 2 MB. so Then came Jazztel
with their fantastic offer 20MB for only € 39.00 euros. so I said Yes.

After 2 days (after the constract signed) they phoned me to tell me I have only 6MB so I said ok Its more then Telefonica
and cheaper.

Now after a test I have only 2.5 MB and a Upload of not even .05MB. So People don,t change to Jazztel because you get Sc….

stick with Telefonica.

Selling a Faster Adsl Update and charging for old one too

2009-12-26T15:39:33Z

Telefonica phoned me a couple years ago and asked if I was interested in a faster Adsl service. It sounded a good deal, but I couldn’t have it on the same line. Luckily we had another line so I agreed to have the faster service on that. Silly me! I assumed they would cancel my original Adsl service since they had sold me an upgraded version. No! A long time later I found I had being paying for both of them despite never using the original, more expensive service. Is that down to me for assuming too much or do I have any recourse. Would appreciate any helpful suggestions. Gracias!
