On earlier visits over the last two years I managed to connect to Orange France with the help of a friend who has lived in the area for sometime. However, I had to have everything reinstalled on my computer before my last visit to France and attempted to reinstall Orange France myself with very frustrating results. When I drilled down to my usual email log-in the line would drop. My earlier logins were also extremely slow. Is there something better I can do? My french neighbours all seem to connect via Livebox but it seems to cost about 30 euros a month and even though we are in France roughly six months of the year in total I did not want to pay this on top of my France orange phone rental. Language is a problem at the moment but I am working on it. Also extremely limited technical knowledge.
