Hello

Can anyone recommend a internet provider please, unlimited fibre optic, mobile telephone package on a monthly basis. Our estate agent has told us that the previous owners were using 'flexa networks' and we could just continue with there service. Just wanted to know if they were any good before I commit.

Many thanks

Sorry  never heard of your  Internet  provider, I  guess  if DVBLAB  available  in your area and the package  you require  I  suspect  installation  fee will  not  apply if you check  website  with  all on offer on display

Hi 

We use https://www.avatel.es/ for internet and mobile phones with no complaints. They are the biggest providers in the area and have an office at La Zenia Boulevard. No experience of Flexa.

Cheers

Steve

There is Movistar and 02 that provide excellent fibre optic services. 

02 being the cheapest option.

Flexa are local to your location. It might be worth speaking to them to see what offers are available and assessing whether they meet your needs.

Flexa Networks – Fibra óptica, telefonía y televisión

There is an office just by what I'd call La Zenia roundabout on Calle Naranjo.

NB - I've never used them so can't comment on their service. We've been with NoLimit (based in Los Dolses commercial centre) since we first bought the property 8 years ago or so and have had no issues with them).

Thank you, another question is there a actual cable into the property or is it like a mobile dongle?

I imagine that will depend on exactly what is available in your community.

As an example, when we first bought, we had a little mini dish fitted to the side of the house which fed into the "modem" which sat in the living room connected by a wire (it went through the wall aligned with where the dish was outside).

Then, maybe in 2019 our community "got fibre" and so I was able to upgrade to fibre and all that seemed to involve was flicking a couple of switches (one in a communal area near where out postboxes were and one in my house in a unit contained in one of the bedrooms). This enabled the mini dish to be removed and the "modem" now simply requires a power socked to provide the wifi all over the house.

I also installed a Wifi booster for upstairs although I'm considering upgrading that to a mesh network to get better performance and coverage.

So in my scenario - there has never been a dongle (which is more for remote wifi rather than home I thought?) and with the latest fibre no obvious wires.
