Satellite Internet?
 

Anyone living in the campo have internet by satellite ? A friend needs a connection and was wondering about prices etc.?

Re: Satellite Internet?
 

I was just about to get it myself ,when I finally got a decent signal from Rural Internet,...may be worth checking out.
It simply uses a small dish or squarial to pick up the signal from the transmitter,but generally needs line of sight.
The two main sat companies are Astra 2 connect and Tooway.
As I recall the connection cost incl.equipment was about 7 or 8 hundred euros back then.
However if your friend is a permanent resident and unable to get internet by any other means,he should qualify for a govt.grant which I believe is in the region of 400 euros as far as I can remember,....thats if they haven't cut it due to the recession.

Prices here are 300 euros to buy the kit then 24 euros/month for 2Meg internet.

In towns, this figure is 15 euros.

Hi,

I've currently got a satellite installed for sky and would like internet.

There is no broadband installed in my area at the minute, is it possible to do this some other way?

I live in the campo & have connecta4 installed at the moment which I'm getting rid of & definitely would NOT recommend to anyone. I'm gonna give bamboo a go next.

Re: Satellite Internet?
 

I'm not sure that Bamboo are still going.

Zero radio/mobile reception ,has to be via satellite.:(

Re: Satellite Internet?
 

Satellite is about €350 for the "kit" then the monthly fees are €45 for a 1mb connection.

Does your friend live in Manilva village?

Do they have views of Estepona? If so I may be able to get them connected to our system.

Re: Satellite Internet?
 

That's expensive, as said before, costs here are about 24€ for 2Mb connection (two local companies charge about the same so it's not a one-off).
