dongle is not cheap normally about 45e month for a very slow connection and very unrealiable. but not a bad choice if you dont need fast internet.

I can provide satellite broadband, which works, via a new technology satellite service (not Avanti) throughout Spain.

Multiple packages to suit home user, small business use and high user.

No phone line required.

We can also offer a UK line via ip and if required allow you to have your UK phone number is Spain.

Feel free to contact for information.

hi, emma;
I find it hard to believe that Telefonica cannot offer ADSL in such a built up area as Manilva.
Did you try talking to them on tel no. 1004?
If you don’t speak Spanish its not a problem; they have some quite talented English speaking sales staff on that number.
1004 puts you onto an answering machine; at the first break in their announcements just say ‘English’; if this doesn’t work wait until a human answers and ask for an English speaking operator.
You will need to disclose your post code to them and perhaps your address.

If they really cant do it then iberbanda.es may be your next point of reference; it is Wi-Fi and expensive but if it is all you can get ...

Do not be tempted to use ‘telefonicainenglish’ you might be one of the lucky ones that manage to get satisfaction from them but it’s highly unlikely and you will have a hell of a time trying to get back their 115 euro admin fee if they fail…

There is a new Government funding ssheme where they will install for free Satelitte internet and a phone line if you want for 25 euros per month , if you have a Spanish bank account and a NIE you are eligable. It is a great system and I pay 25 euros per month for internet and 9 uros for my line . I arranged it through a site called every1connect.com

Not an advertisment , but these people are very helpful on all current internet and telephone systems, even in remote areas , i got a satelitte system installed on Government funding and at 25 euros per month, so not expensive on the web authoriseddealerspain.com or every1connect.com

Not an advertisement eh? Hmm. Their site is super sketchy looking. I wouldn’t trust them.

Dont know what super sketchy means but they arranged everything for me and I am happy with my internet and bill, so I guess the proof is in the pudding .

The grant covered the Satelitte equipment and installation which consisted of dish, lnb, router and cabling , I purchased a wi fi router as an extra with voip phone capability. I did not do any of it , just sent my details and the company processed it. I made lots of enquiries to satelitte companies but their equipment is so expensive to buy and install I had given up .

All…. Not an advert?

Sounds like a straightforward http://www.quantis.es/eng installation to me… nothing to do with government grants, Quantis have been advertising this free equipment and installation service for at least six months…

solgirl… I see your IP address decodes to the UK… hiding behind a proxy perhaps?

I note also that you have posted on at least one other Spanish forum under the name Castellon… strange that you should use that name given that the two web url’s you quote both tie back to a common owner in Castellon…

The 25€ subscription is Quantis’ minimum level of service, is capped and subject to quite a strict FUP as you will no doubt find out if you go over your traffic limit….
