I have decided to go for it



We only want it for the usual internet stuff and TV.  No gaming or streaming, whatever that is.  We have a box and were using Total Entertainment but it buffered too much.  Danny says the basic will be more than enough.  What do you think

It'll be interesting to see if you get what they say you will...

According to our contract we get 12mb for 20 euros, not 200mb.
Questions WILL, of course, be asked  :wink:

For existing Sistel customers installation is free

It's nice and quiet up here in the hills of course but even the Mayor can't get us a mobile signal for a telephone connection, lets see what Juan can organise? I just asked him  :thumbsup:

Yhey are laying cables for it here.  Juan is out supervising

  Hi, Judi-bk, sorry new here, where are you? Thanks.

Judi_bk

La Perla, Arboleas, near the old railway station on the bridge

Whereabouts are you Billy1, because fibre optic is installed in many of the villages around our part of the world.  We are near Almanzora and have had fibre optic since last October.

frankie

Nothing up here and neither is the new gas pipe which will only serve the villages in the bottom off the valley. :huh:

  Hi Judi-bk, thanks for that. I am in el chopo, so hopefully not too long to wait. I will be going with TH. Great value and 200mb is more than enough for me. Billy1.

 :hi: Billy,

Although the original system was set up via Arboleas Town Hall, with licences, masts and infrastructure installed, the existing suppliers like Albox-online and Eurosatwiz (Martin) made a claim that the Internet the town hall was supplying at cut-price were being subsidised by the rate payers of Arboleas and, of course, losing them clients/business. Therefore "unfair competition".

Somehow, I'm not aware of the circumstances, the Internet business of the Town Hall was then "farmed out" to Systel - a 100% Zurgena business - run by Juan and Antonio - Juan organises the technical side and installations, Antonio does the administration (from his office in Arboleas town hall) <-- strange eh??
:rolleyes: :shocked: :undecided:
So it's not *really* "going with the TH" or is it? :rofl:

Hi Drax, thanks for that. No probably not the TH by the sound of it. Still interested if it comes my way though. Billy1.
