Internet Connection in the alpujarras! 3 Weeks, 3 Days ago  
Can anyone recommend an internet service provider, satellite or otherwise for use in isolated region of the Alpujarra?
I have seen ads for internet from "Granada Satellites" offering a completely independent internet service for a one off fee of 349 then no other charges, ever!

Does anyone have any knowledge of this company and their services??? They apparently also supply television services.

Their web site does not give any address or fixed lined telephone number which does not instill any confidence so I am looking for anyone who may have used these people..... anyone??

Failing that can anyone recommend a service..... I can't do without my communication.... sad huh?...

Enjoy your day..... graham

Hello Pip

Thanks for your comp on my site.... good to meet you....

The prop I am after has water already or I would have needed to bore. Electricity is literally on the edge of the boundary so connection should be ok but I will eventually go down the solar route....
Internet is important to me for many reasons.... and I contacted this company Grenada Satellites requesting information. The guy responded very quickly, then I sent the letter below to him on Monday asking for more detailed info and have not received any reply.... yet. I am a bit wary....

Anyway, wish you luck on finding somewhere..... I have a very good contact in the area should you need any assistance or information, she has excellent contacts which are always very useful and of course she speaks Spanish fluently.
Let me know if you would like her email.

Cheers
Graham
PS I am a fellow skier too...
Hello Tony

Thank you for your reply.
I am moving to the Murtas area in the Alpujarra and am looking for an internet connection.
Your website tells nothing about you or your company and therefore does not give any confidence to any prospective customer.
I am very much in favour of entrepreneurs, being one myself, but, much information is needed from you.
Do you have customers who will give recommendations for your services?
What is your company name, registration number and where is it registered?
Maybe you are an agent for another company, if so which company?
What company supplies the internet service and how can this be free......?
Which satellites are used.
Every service provider requires payment depending on bandwith etc.
I saw your advert and passed the information on to a friend in Malaga but I shared my concerns with him.

I look forward to your reply....

Regards
Graham Peckham

thats cool we both love to ski one of the reasons of looking in that area,
we are going to bulgaria on friday this week hopefully for the last time as i really like the look of the sierra nevada and when we move there close to either snow or beach,
ps just wearing in some new ski boots people think i am mad but these where cheap new salamons.
speak soon mate
