Good Eve,

Many of you may know that i'm moving out to Torrevieja later this year...

I now need to get Internet and TV Installed, The internet needs to be outstanding speed for the work that i do.. it needs to be a click of a button speed.. Any suggestions?

I also would like to incorporate British TV into this and would need Sky as a must... 

I have no Dish or phone line installed that i know of so it would need a site visit 

Any replies and help is greatly appreciated,

Kindest Regards

Gav

"it needs to be a click of a button speed"

I don't really know what that means, are you talking about site navigation, download speed, upload speed, do you have a specific minimum speed in mind, what is it you need to do ?

In any case it's a bit of an impossible question to answer because what may be available to you can be highly dependent on EXACTLY where your house is situated and which ISP's operate there.

Unlike in UK land lines are not common and even if you wanted one it might not be an option. Many URBs are served by a sole provider who has invested in the infrastructure thus locking out competitors making it them or none. Alternatives might be 4g or if somebody covers the area with Wimax so I think you get the drift that without knowing where you are there are more questions than answers !

Sky proper you will only get with an adequately sized dish - that being a minimum of 1.4m and possibly up to 1.8m - and a Sky box.

IPTV is the other option but apart from it being dubious from a legal standpoint beware that it's far from what it's advertised to be, I dub it Intermittent Problematic Troublesome Viewing and if you go that route then choose your provider very carefully remembering that price is NOT necessarily a reliable indicator !

Gav - I had DvbLab install a tiny Sat Dish and they wired up my home for Broadband (faster than in the UK!) and UK TV channels via an Irish Satellite - £300 to install and I chose the switch on/off service which costs me £38 p/m

- Please tell Lars that Linda from Toretta Florida recommended his services

Hmmm. Hard for me to be specific about my exact Bandwidth etc...

I trade live sports markets, so need Sky Racing (Horse) and Racing TV and Sky sports channels but i need them to be very Short Delays..

I also need to be able to trade out of situations in a heartbeat and so need fast internet actions...

I suppose im asking for any recommendations of English people i can call upon to come and give me advice and superior Knowledge to mine with regards the situation,

I know its always difficult, I was recommended a Kitchen and Bathroom Company and they have done the worst job my eyes have ever seen and now thy are not contactable

Do appreciate any help

Regards

Gav

Hi Gav, I have fibre optic but I live on the outskirts of Torrevieja in an area called San Luis, however I can change (hopefully) to another provider of internet when my contract finishes in November and the one I am looking at is a company called Avatel initial installation I believe is €80 then €9.99 for the first 3 months and then €24.99 for 300mbs download, David Jimenez 622 665 749 LaREvoluciondelaFibra.com, hope that helps. I have a friend who has provided me with IPTV for many years, with the full sky package plus for £40 a year, I have two providers for £80 a year just in case one crashes but you need a minimum of 10mbs
