Hi,

Friends and ourselves live on the Costa Blanca, (various locations from Benidorm to Oliva). We do not have landlines and probably never will, even though none of the properties are remote. Can anyone recommend a good Wireless Broadband ISP in this area please. Thanks

Hi Paul, how is PSH going from the Costa del Sol to the Costa Blanca already? I didn’t notice that they offered wireless either…

Can you confirm?

Sorry i posted that in a hurry...... not very clear is it ! i was really just trying to put across that the option of 3G broadband(no telephone line required) is out there. they would need to find someone local who could install it or d.i.y.

you also say “I didn’t notice that they offered wireless either… “

Not sure what you mean!!!...... 3G broadband is widely available throughout Spain and is very wireless as it will work anywhere your mobile phone will.

What speeds are available on 3G and are there any unlimited offerings? Thanks.

well that depends on your area...................

2G 56kbs(dail up)

3G 384kbs (good for web browsing, emails, skype but not really for downloading music etc)

3.5G 1.5mbs (most well populated areas are now covered and is tipped to be very much the future of broadband)

As for unlimited..... Yes! You will need to go to a contract though. the price around 60e a month but you will get all your equipment free If your happy to set it up yourself.

This probably should’ve been posted in the business services section but I’ll allow it for now.

I still don’t get it though, is it 3G technology? What is it? It doesn’t say what kind of “broadband” it is on the website?

How is it different than Vodafone’s 2, 3, 3.5G service for example?

How can a small company like PSH be a 3G provider without renting someone else’s lines?

(At least the service is in English! )

Hello again

I am not and dont claim to be an ISP!

All my small business is doing is offering 3G technology as a home setup service in the Espetona area of the Costa Del Sol.

Arriving at your property with the hardware and setting up the software required on your computer along with full English instructions on how to top your broadband up on the pay as you go system thats now available in Spain. Leaving you with broadband up and running. The same way you might get a local satellite installer to install sky for you!

You end up paying a bit more to have it all setup than doing it yourself but less hassle.

My business is only 2 weeks old and so far have had a lot of interest.

The reason my site doesn’t mention 2G, 3G or 3.5 (hsdpa) is because i feel people who just what the internet don’t want to be confused with technical terms. My site and business tries to keep things as uncompleted as possible.

My posting was only trying to help the people out at the top of this thread, i can do nothing else to help them as I’m in the Costa Del Sol.  I am sorry i posted my reply in the wrong section.

Paul
