Looking to have pay as you use WIFI installed in late July when we are over.

I understand there is an initial payment for installation then usage cost as and when.

Does anyone have any reliable companies they recommend?

Thank you

Hi. I used a company called DVBlab Communication based in Torrevieja for my switch on/off facility. Its www.dvblab.com .

I think I paid 145 euros for the installation and its 19 euros a month.

You can book and pay online. You tell them the dates you are there and you get it for the whole calendar month. If your stay goes into the following month you have to pay for that month as well.

I've just got the internet box and I bought a SMART tv so can access Netflix, Amazon channels etc.

Hi, I use the big company on a contract and it is 25 euros per month (Avatel). There is no on/off facility but I don't believe there was an installation cost. Regards, Peter M

Do you have to pay an up front amount of money to be able to get the 3 month non-payment?

Deffo, they have been brilliant we had 5 months free with covid with not being allowed in Spain, like any internet TV there has been the odd blip but to be honest I could count on one hand in 2 years. The internet is very good and super quick I had to have a reliable internet source as I use it to run my business in Spain never had an issue so far.

I have just got a firestick loaded in UK and the guy says it can be used in Spain so when we are over in August for a couple of months I am going to try it and if it works I will cancel the TV as this has the majority of Sky on it.
