I will be moving to the Velez Rubio area and need to set up internet service.  Can you provide contact details please?

It depends where you are.  We are with https://www.nextcomunicaciones.com/ as we could get a signal with them, but I know some people can't.  I know some people are with Telplay, but we couldn't get their signal.

I've contacted Next from reading some of the other posts.  My house is in Los Cabreras which is rural.   I need good service as I do volunteer work.   Thank you for responding.

Being rural isn't the issue (we are too) it is whether there is line of sight to their mast.  If you have any neighbours then worth asking who they use.  We generally have good enough bandwidth from Next to do Zoom conferencing etc, but we certainly aren't talking superfast fibre broadband!

Well, I'm not there yet so can't talk to anyone.  I would like done before I get there so I don't lose work time.  I hope Next will be ok.

If you google map your property and send this to the internet provider, they might be able to tell you , yes or no, 

Telplay could be an option as the mast is on the mountain near you.

Telplay hasn't responded.  Does anyone know if the mobile phone companies still sell dongles and provide service?  Thanks!

I have neighbours who connect via Vodafone 4g, presumably a dongle, but I believe their cost is about 2x mine.
