I am in DV for a couple of weeks soon and looking to get my daily fix of email and e-news.

Can anyone please  recommend any nearby Wi-Fi services  and give an indication of the cost per hour?

thanks,
PMilsom

There is an internet cafe next to Becky's in the square, it's something like a euro per hour.

Hi,

The Duquesa Business Centre in the port along the same level as the straw donkey is another option.  About the same price.

Paul,

Somebody in block 7 (I am sure its 7 but it may be the 7 end of block 8) has a connection  if you stand on the lower road and look up you will see the aerial a flat thing pointing towards the hill and I think its an internet link.

You may be able to do a deal with them if they have it WIFI enabled and it may be within range of your apartment.

Paul When I need to work from Duquesa I use kings club internet cafe near to Becky's. Its very convenient as you can get all your fOod and drinks from Armstrongs or Beckys whilst sat outside doing your business. It costs 6 euros per 2 hours and that access doesn't need to be continuous which suited me. Jeff. I have seen that dish on block 7. Do you think he got permission? It is quite small and unlike a sky dish to be honest.

John,

Unless they have permission then in theory its a breach of Community Rules, it should really be located further into the balcony out of site and/or even painted in the same colour as the wall.

I spoke to a company that advertise internet for 1 payment of from 229 euros. They told me that all cities/towns on the C del S will be installing WIFI at no cost or a token amount of a few euros per month to get the residents using the internet. They said Malaga was now an internet WIFI free area.

I asked other places and they said it will happen over time with the source being the town hall or the local library. The cost from 229 euros is for a directional aerial to point at the wifi source and if its over say 3kms it will cost 250 to 300 for a higher gain and stronger transmitter system.

I was told to take my laptop near the town hall an look for wifi with an id of 'onsecure' (I think), I tried in Bodega Andaluz anid found no signal. I asked the man there and he mae a phone call and said they think there is a source near the main gym/sports centre in Manilva, I have yet to try this.However I did find this on the net........

Malaga Fonera

I am writing this post from the office of Francisco de la Torre, Malaga’s mayor, where we are about to announce that Malaga is becoming the world’s first FONero city (we already have FONero towns, but not a city of over half a million people). How does this work?

Well, first the city of Malaga puts up FON Routers and Fontennas in all of its public buildings. And there are many. The City Hall is already FON enabled. And so are some of the other buildings here. In these buildings, there’s free WiFi for all citizens and visitors. Then FON will donate over 2000 La Foneras (FON’s WiFi routers) to Malaga’s citizens who will place them in their windows for the benefit of their fellow citizens and visitors (Malaga airport has 13 million passengers per year).

So in the next year, visitors to Malaga will get free WiFi if they are FONeros (WiFi donors) anywhere in the planet or for 3 euros per day if they are not. FON’s model has succeeded over the Muni WiFi model that the city first considered because our model involves citizen participation, is extremely inexpensive for cities and has the collaboration of ISPs and telcos who sell more and not less broadband connections. Thank you, Malaga!

So I will update this thread when I find more.

Sounds as if the dish in block 7 is using some form of the soultion you outline. The problem we would have is that there could be 600 dishes in the village all pointing the same way to get the Internet access. I have some info from a supplier who , it seems, can install wifi nodes in the village and there will be a pay as you go service. This will be useful for those renting their places or using it occasionally . If it looks reasonable I suggest that AEA present it as a solution for the village so we can vote upon it at the AGM.
