Hi all,

I am a new member with zero IT skills but do like surfing.
Now relocated to Spain in the mountains with no Telephonica landline connection.Have heard you can get internet via satellite but suppliers also want a monthly charge?

Have a 1.2mt dish and receive free to air no problemo! any ideas anyone?

By the way found the site by accident as I've a Samsung E900 needing unlocked; although not had any luck on that score.

Afraid it does sound like you may need to consider satellite broadband, though expect to be charged for this.

You could always consider mobile broadband instead, but you need to be in a mobile signal range, and to be honest, the speeds aren't a notch on normal broadband at present.
