Thank you for that information. We have now ordered a telephone line and broadband from Orange. My husband called Orange(France Telecom) on their english speaking line 0969363900 yesterday 30th Jan and they will do a site survey on 7th Feb then install the telephone line & broadband on 14th Feb. For others who might be interested:- We can have the telephone line and broadband switched on and off as and when required by giving 10 days notice. The cost was €69 for site survey, €55 connection, €19 per mth (pro rata) for tel line and €21 per mth for the broadband (pro rata). Each time we suspend the service there is a charge of €4.60
