Long let with Internet, Costa blanca
Hey all
Put in my first thread not long ago re Costa Blanca and I got lots of helpful advise,
Now I am lookng for some more.
I have been able to get my 11 year old daughter into Mar Azul school nr Torrevieja and I am now looking for a long term rental 6 months + in and around this area, playa flamenca, La Zenia, Los Altos etc.
BUT I would very much like to have internet access and I am really struggling to find anywhere
our max Buget is about 700e pm
has anyone got any help with this for me?

Not in the Costa Blanca, but all the long term lets I've had here, I've had to connect the phone line and internet myself.
Would you consider that?

Re: Long let with Internet, Costa blanca
yeah I would, so If I find a property that I like and they say no to Internet phone line etc, I would just say well could I pay for one to be installed??
How much would it cost do you think?

Re: Long let with Internet, Costa blanca
You may have an issue in that area with the availability of telephone lines. There are many areas around there without landlines, the only options are TRAC phones, which work in the same way as mobiles in that they have a sim card but normal landline call rates and allowing "Dial-Up" internet, although they are very slow and not very stable, or a WiFi or "Mesh" internet system which should give you a phone line and much faster internet.
You may have trouble finding the info before you are there though.
Hope this helps

Can't comment the availability of lines, as I've never lived out in the country.
Telecoms are expensive here, Telefonica standard charge to connect you is about 100€ (but then it's cheaper if you want to transfer your line elsewhere later). Provided the line is available, one you make your request you'll be conencted within a few days - it was once the next day for me.
Also, they occasionally do a free connection for new customers offer, so keep your eyes open for that

Re: Long let with Internet, Costa blanca
Hi
I have been told now about a place called Nortons in La Zenia which does a box which is wireless and it gives you phone and internet, so you dont need the owners permission and they do the area I am looking for
yipppeeee!!!
I have an email address for the girl there so will try her and see what she says.
thanks all
