Is damn expensive! We have chewed through 2 lots of 1 gig top ups in a week and a half at a cost of about 20€ at a time! So having weighed up the options we have decided to go for Wireless Internet with a company called Next here in Turre. It is unlimited and costs €24.95 a month with 3 meg download speed and 1 meg uploads so it will be good for Skype and the like. This is being installed on Monday afternoon so till then we are limiting ourselves to mobile phone access only! So no major blog posts till Monday!
Tomorrow we are seeing some houses a little bit further away to the west of Almeria. They will have to be very special to top the two current faves that we have!
Tomorrow we also get our NIE numbers too so that opens the door to us opening bank accounts, getting a car, all major purchases in fact and also utilities etc! So as you can imagine a big part of our relocation!
We have also scheduled a second viewing of our favourite house from day two of the search for Tuesday morning. There is a good chance we might have found our potential new home!
For American readers a Euro currently is $1.31 to the Euro

Welcome to the technology age of Spain! :) LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry but I understand your pain. Internet in Spain is one of the most expensive in Europe! :(
Did you check the small print on that provider?
I mean that the price is not only the first three months with a permanency contract of 18 so the extra 15 months are not at 50€ per month?
I suggest to do it. Really telecommunications companies in this country are a bunch of [autocensored] [autocensored] ;)

Our provider really is 24.95 (+ IVA) a month flat rate unlimited access :)
