Hi

Want to get Internet in my house, but only require it sporadically for now ie when I holiday here.

Can I have this set up and then just pay for the time when I'm staying here?

Any advice please?

Hi

Thankyou for responding so quickly!👍

However, as I'm only going to be there for 8 weeks of the year (atm), I really don't fancy forking out £19 every month for unused internet.

I'd heard somewhere that you could just buy time from a provider, once internet has been connected....???

You  only  pay  for months  you are in Apartment.  I  only come and go  like yourself.   You  do it all online. There is no Internet  in my Apartment  presently  as I am in Ireland  but I will send email  over weekend  and get it switched  on for my next trip  October 10th. You will not be forking  out for months  you are not there.

We live here permanently.

We have neighbours with holiday homes here.

We use Go Fibra,and most of our neighbours with holiday homes here use them also.

There is an installation fee originally,but you don't pay fees if you are not here.

A telephone call to them telling them when you want your tv/wifi to be switched on is all that is required.

If you are only here for two weeks,you will have to pay for one month.

All very easy.

HI

We only use internet for a few weeks on and off.  We're in Torrevieja Centro where the mobile service is excellent and we receive 5g.

After paying for fibre for periods we didn't need it we decide to buy a 4g modem from Media Market and use a Vodaphone Spanish sim. You can choose the amount of data you need over a 28 day period. We buy 50GB for 15 euros and the deal is they double it to 100GB.

I have a dual sim mobile so when not in the modem I use the excess up and free national calls until it runs out and top it up 5 euros in the UK to keep it active until we return.

We much prefer being in control its fast enough to run our devises and the TV.  Eventually we will buy a 5G modem once there are more available at a reasonable price.

Hope this helps

Alayna
