Re: Can anyone help me regarding Sky+

Re: Doctours

Re: Jazztel - ADSL and Telephone service

It isn't just Spain. There are folks in more rural parts of the US who don't have ADSL, nor much likelihood of getting it. One of the bad things about Britain is that it is such a crowded little...

Re: Frigiliana

Re: Is the grass still greener once you're there?

The situation about health care is certainly one I would be interested in should we make the decision to emigrate. It's one of those important factors that one probably doesn't think too much about....

Thanks for the comments so far. Yes, I am hoping to find a villa with broadband internet access to rent cheaply off-season for a few weeks. In fact, a friend has found one in Nerja, which is just...
