Postby donna bagnall » Mon Apr 10, 2006 11:22 am

we have a house in Arenas and in jan had the internet fitted by a company in velez. Prior to coming out they said that they would come uop check if they could get a signal for internet and phone beofre installing. They fiited interent, said no phone and left. We are struglling to connect to internet and we have no phone. We have called the company on numerous occasions but they have still not come out to check what problem is . Any advice would be apprciated, must admit it was the phone we wanted more than internet, tried skype, could here my daughter in u.k on her land line but she couldn't hear me. Thanks in advance

We have successful Wireless Internet + Phone connection close to Velez Malaga via AVI Iberbanda. Waited 7 months after Internet installed though for phone to be connected! Works really well - as does Skype.

We have the same system (AVI). Internet installed 2 weeks after ordering and phone ready 2 weeks later.
Since I gave up hope I feel much better!

Ours is called AVI Iberbanda - also known as Servcom around this part of Almeria.

Iberbanda

Currently there isnt any coverage for the outskirts of Chiclana for the companies who provide wireless WIFI WIMAX ADSL/Broadband. But if you want this to change get in contact and hopefully demand will drive this.

I just have a basic dialup connection and line with Telefonica. :roll:

They were very quick to install the line. We phoned on a monday and they were done by Thursday.

Only problem is my village has no broadband availability at the moment. Mind you, looking at the prices of Telefonica's broadband services, I won't be rushing to get it when they do upgrade the local exchange!!

Hi all,

My broadband is taking some time and I have now this Wanadoo Tarifa Plana for 20€/month and it goes with a normal telephone connection. So far it has been working perfectly and I would even keep it, it is not slow even though I am in Monda, which is quite rural... so I totally recommend it heathxxx
