Re: Property in France

Re: Wifi

Because without a good strong mobile network signal to feed the device its a non-starter. And of course using it for full time TV viewing will gobble up data allowance quickly.

It is my understanding that you can specify your own notaire to handle your part of the transaction or you can use the same notaire as the seller. In such case, the notaires share the same fee...

Re: Internet fibre-optic connection difficulties

Re: Internet fibre-optic connection difficulties

Thankyou for your response, but its not a solution. As I state above, there is no mobile network coverage here so a mobile phone is not the answer. The only way I can receive SMS codes at home is...

Re: Internet fibre-optic connection difficulties

I thank you for the link. I am with Sosh (Orange) at the moment. Plenty of offers for fibre if it ever arrives here but although the cable has been installed to a junction point across the road it...

Re: Internet fibre-optic connection difficulties

Our (copper fed) internet has been unreliable for years and when talk of fibre started to gain traction we were very interested, as long as the price doesn't go through the roof. We don't stream TV...

Re: Currency Exchange

Update. I have decided to play safe and stick with bank to bank transfers, although expensive, there is no middle man to worry about.

Re: Currency Exchange

I guess the old saying "You get what you pay for" is appropriate here. My problem was that I am one of the dinosaurs that refuse to put my entire life on a smartphone so that was the first hurdle. ...

Re: French Immobilière. A warning

Re: Currency Exchange

Thanks for the tip, a little late though. I just paid £15 for a transfer.

Re: Dog Trainer - Alsace

My little fella came from a French rescue centre. His ex-owner was French. I speak very little French so the dog pretty much ignores me unless he's hungry.

Re: JO mania

I can't answer your question. Sports of any kind is of no interest to me but can you clear something up for me? What is the "J" in the JO? I assume the "O" is olympics.
