Internet

[Nichthewood]

Hi all

When we move next January. We will be living in the area just north of Poitiers. We have a telephone installed. But there is no Broadband. How do we cope. Is it better to PAYG or take out a fit price contract , so many hours a month. Is there such a thing as Satellite Internet connection, if so anyone now how much it costs. Any help greatfully received.

Hi

this has been raised before. I've replied to it several times.

If you use the search facility and search on :

broadband, then ISP, then satellite you will find lots of info

If you don't want anything until next january, I'd wait until then before you decide - any offers around now will have changed by then.

I used to have a dial-up connection back in the UK, but it was was sooooo slow, eventually changed to broadband.

Then, when I moved to France, I had to use dial-up, as broadband was not (at that time) available in my village.  However for some reason, my dial-up connection here seems much faster and more responsive than my experience in the UK.

It is also very cheap.  I use a Tiscali forfait, and can connect Monday through to Saturday from 5:30am (as if... ) until 5pm, with an extra 15 hours to use evenings and Sundays, all for 11 euros per month.  The connection does not time-out, and I am very satisfied with the performance.
