Re: PRIINET OPTIONS due to Covid 19
Hi as someone who is unable to travel to Costa Esuri (last visited Sept 2019).I contacted Priinet and asked if it was possible to allow some sort of Respite from payment as I have no idea when I would be able to visit in the future.After more dialogue .They were not sympathetic to my plight and cancelled my account informing me that I have not fulfilled the 6 months rental for both 2019 & 2020 and charged me €161 .So be careful.They said I can contact them when eventually I can return and they will reconnect me if I desire .

Re: PRIINET OPTIONS due to Covid 19
Hi all, I started this thread eight months ago and thinking that getting back out to Esuri was - just around the corner / in a month or two - and I stupidly kept paying Priinet. I was very reluctant to cancel the contract because we are so dependant on emails / internet/ facetime/ zoom etc etc to keep in touch with both our loved ones and for business purposes. The only thing I avoid doing there is banking because I don't trust the security of the priinet line of site wifi system.
However, I have now cancelled the contract. I had asked several times for a discount or have the option of turning off for six months but my 15 euro package did not allow this. Apparently you have to be on the 25 euro contract to switch off up to six months a year and pay half. BUT THINK ABOUT IT..... You don't get much bandwidth even for 25 euros. Fibre is now available on most of Esuri. WHO actually owns the Fibre infrastructure I don't know - probably the legacy provider which was Telefonica - but I don't actually know. Priinet are currently offering 50 Mb broadband for 25 euros a month and nil installation cost, hence a much better deal, BUT prices are falling all the time with greater competition. I started another thread recently on the main forum asking for recommends of other smaller broadband providers which I hope will bear fruit when I eventually manage to get back out to esuri. It appears you can get 100Mb for 20 euros a month currently which makes either priinet options look poor value.
I have to return my six year old router to the Priinet shop in town when we are next there and I will try to negotiate their broadband to the same price as other alternative players. That is to say - I will give them first option of retaining me as a customer. I think they are quite a good company which started on a shoestring budget, but now they need to compete on fibre. Different ball game !
The only hiccup is - Will we get out to Esuri THIS YEAR (2021)???????????? The new strain of Covid is proving a problem. Until the population of the UK, spain & portugal get the vaccine I don't see us travelling as the risks are too high. Also I will want to wait until the requirement for a negative PCP test is dropped as this would prove expensive each time.
IF/ WHEN I get a B/band connection at a good price I will update here.
Regards to all, lets hope for a happy & prosperous new year.

Hola Keith,
Have faith, you will get out to Esuri this year; I was like you, very doubtful, but now, with the vaccine, I believe that by the end of summer, it will be possible for people to return to their holiday homes.

From there the providers took over such as Movistar, Virgin etc. There is said to be four of those and they would take the fibre to the blocks such as in Marina ESURI, Vista ESURI where they terminated in the stairwell and tried to persuade the block president to give them exclusive rights. Now there is a multitude of small providers who cable individual properties from the main terminals.

Re: PRIINET OPTIONS due to Covid 19
Well done Esuri John, for a very informative explanation of the cable set up. We just need to know which of the smaller providers is giving the best deal. I might have a word with our intercommunity presidente to see if she knows who has been connecting into the manzanas. I realise will not have the option to turn off for up to six months as with Priinet's 25 euro top wifi system but that doesn't bother me too much as I've always left mine on all year because I didn't want the hassle of contacting them to shut down / turn on again by certain dates each month. My target price is 20 euros for fibre min 50Mb.
