Internet at Roda

 hey all,

i have been looking at internet access for the house in phase 3.

ideally i would like to get a 3g usb dongle that has no contract and is pay as you go.

orange have a good deal €19 for 7 straight days but they dont have coverage in roda.

does anyone know of other offers that are available, i would be looking to get one before the 3rd jan and be able to use is a couple of weeks a year whenever im out.

any help would be great

thanks :)

i use a pay as you go dongle from vodafone and it works well, i think it was 40 euro to buy but you get credit included, and then you top up as u go. I keep it in the apartment and use when im there.

im in phase 3B - penthouse

I have an Orange (Espana) dongle on contract. Bought it at Dos Mares - the cost is 5 euros a month and 2 euros per day - only when you connect. Signal is ok, we're on phase 3A. No money up front and Orange take out the money from our Spanish bank account.

Hope this helps.

 thanks for the replys guys,

how do you find the vodafone service in terms of signal strength and speed etc. have you ever had problems with dropped signal at all?

cheers

for email and basic web surfing, its fine, similar to the one i use in ireland. The 3G dongles are never nearly as good as an ADSL or cable broadband. I use mine to get to my work email when im in spain.I tested skype, and the voice was ok, but video didnt work very well - kept freezing.

Vodafone signal strength is appalling on the ground floor in the middle of Phase 2, barely works inside the apartment. May be better in penthouses or on other phases.

 yeah, thats a good point, we are in a penthouse in P3B. I can test on the ground floor when im over next, but that will be april.

does anyone have mobile internet on phase 2?

i was looking for one that would do spain/european roaming with a pay as you go tarrif.

Hi

we are on phase 1 block 1 and have been looking buy an internet "dongle" for use when we visit Roda.Orange seemed to be the best at 39euro to purchase and 3 euros per day only payable if you use the internet.However when we went to purchase one at Dos Mares the Orange supplier said there was no 3g coverage on Roda so it wasn,t worth buying one for use in our appartment.

Has anybody used vodaphone or does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks
