Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. We have a house in Estepa although we're not there full time (have had the house for 11 years). I need to be able to work from the house when we are there and I'm wondering what's the best thing to do for internet access.

I do use the library from time to time, but I can't access Yahoo through it - the very nice lady there says this is a perennial problem. So we are thinking about having something installed at the house. We rent it out from time to time, and we're there ourselves for a couple of months a year, in fits and starts.

Could anyone advise me what the best thing to do would be? Or any suggestions? I am not very techie, so answers in words of one syllable would be very helpful! I have friends on the coast who have had WiMAX installed, but I"m not sure if this is available in our area, and don't seem to be able to find anything about it online. My Spanish is sort of OK, as long as I don't have to get into a hugely complicated discussion with someone!

We did, incidentally also have UK satellite TV, but I gather that's now been switched off. We have got a normal television aerial as well.

I would be really grateful for any advice.

We use WINET they have an office next to the Unicaja bank. They are very good and the internet is fast.

Thank you, I know where that is. Do you have any idea of the cost?

We pay 25 euro a month for 8 meg, but there are other options.

We are thinking of using them, as we also live In Estepa. We use mobile from Orange which is just passable but only just. For some reason the library will freeze you out of your own e-mails etc after you have used it a few times. Using your own lap top or tablet In the library works fine for everything and that is what we do at present, however ours is just social.
