€76 a month for Internet is extremely expensive.

Re: Los Claveles Urbanisation La Cala, Mijas?

Hi, Los Claveles is basically in La Cala. It's a 5 minute walk to the centre.

Re: Battery back-up thinyg for power cuts

If a power surge killed the UPS then it was either a faulty UPS or a very cheap one.

As in most things in life you get what you pay for.

Re: Battery back-up thinyg for power cuts

Hi, go for a line-interactive UPS.
