W44NE G Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi,I'm a self-employed computer technician here in the UK but am hoping to move the business to the South of France as I have been given an opportunity to do so by my cousin. My aim is to live somewhere around Nice so I wondered who provides broadband around the south? Also, what speeds are there in France and how much does it cost per month.If you've had good and bad experiences with certain providers, please let me know so I can recommend the best service to my customers.Also, how up-to-date are the French in comparison to England when it comes to electronics? My mum has an apartment in Spain and when I go there I sometimes can't belive how far behind they are in terms of technology when I go to Dixons equivalents there.

Mpprh Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 HiCheck out this website for information on ADSL : http://www.degrouptest.comYou really need the local phone number, because ADSL speeds drop off with distance from the node. You can find local numbers here : http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pb.cgiNote that degroupe and/or cable are worth having.Not noticed much difference between the level of technology between UK and France.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W44NE G Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Thanks for that.What sort of price is broadband there and do they have downloading limits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Its a continually changing picture and depends in details where you live. I'd suggest looking at the ISP sites that provide service in whatever area you are considering (the post above gives a link that allows you to tell which ISPs provide service, together with links to their sites and offers).As you are a computer technician you should have no problems identifying what level of service you want/need and get the appropriate matching costs. To detail the various costs for the various ISP offerings here would be asking a bit much of people and it would probably be out of date by the time somebody had collected all the info. You know what speeds you want, where you will live, what "add-ons" you might want, what hardware you might need/already have, etc.RegardsIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
