I have a house in the campo about 15 mins away from Lubrin / Bedar. I am desperate to find an internet provider. I know some of my neighbours had a mast  provided by Next that they are able to get an adequate connection to. But Next have gone and I cannot find a company that can help. Incidentally I have to walk up the nearby hill  to get any sort of signal. Please help oh wise ones!

Hi Missjillyp 

Do you have a good phone connection? 

If so how about using  phone as a hotspot? 

I am have a house outside of Huéscar (Granada Altiplano) where Habland is the only one who could provide me with an internet connetion. Not the best for service or customer support.

The town has fiber but it does not server my area. 

I use sim in a phone and hotspot off of it. 

The connection is only around 30 Mps. While the speed can vary thats good enough for me to work and in the evning watch TV over my firestick

I have a deal that is 20€ per month for 80GB and if I top up before the end of the month by 20€ and get an extra 80 GB per month.

If you want you can also use your current phone but sometimes it's difficult to make calls or use banking apps while hotspotting . You can of course turn it on and off.

Let me know if I can give you any more details

hi try albox online, when we lived in sorbas in the middle of nowhere they were brilliant, in garrucha we use wimax, or populoos as it is now, you could also go to turre to connexions and ask neil about providers etc, he is really helpful.

Thank for reply Neil

Unfortunately the neighbours have all tried Albondigas online and say they were awful. 

Where is Connexions in Turre   I’ve only been there once and don’t remember seeing it

Have you considered Starlink?

It's not cheap - 450 for the kit and 65 a month for unlimited download, but I've heard reports (one from Bedar) it's working well here, and will only get better as more satellites go up.

Next has been taken over by Populoos or whatever they're called. If your neighbours have/had Next, that is probably your only option (apart from starlink). Not many suppliers out here
