Hello all

Can anyone in Illar advise how good or bad the internet/broadband is in Illar and the best company to use. Used to 40 speed in England so I'm not expecting too much...  would like to be able to surf the net and watch netflix though 😊 thanks Gill

Hi Gill

We live just outside the village and use AHI (they have a shop in Alhama) - we’re on WiMAX and get a whopping 12mbs 😂 but it’s fine, we watch Netflix and I also work from home. You should be able to get a better speed in the village though! We’ve had no issues with AHI to date ...

That sounds good thankyou, we will be out asap as well, I think we'll be going out on the motorbikes and send stuff with transporter rather than fly. 😊
