I have often wondered about the 18-month contracts when signing up to an internet service. With modems and set up being cheap and easy these days is it reasonable to say this period is necessary to offset these costs?

I suspect it borders on the illegal; a ruse to keep the competition out. There certainly seems to be plenty of that these days. Furthermore, most fall short on delivering their promises but once you’re hooked up you have to live with it.
 
I suspect the relevant bodies in the EU will be taking a closer look at 12 and 18-months contracts. It affects me because I pay for a service I am not using when away from the office for months at a time.

 Hi Mike

 

I agree with your comments, we as a company were only able to receive internet via 3G modems/Dongle etc, And were given the unit free.

Obviously for a tied 18 month contract, how ludircous!

And having lived in Spain for the last 10 years have managed to live with these unfortunate policies.

They in my opinion are the worst in Europe for costings and service with regards to internet. Hence why i started my own localised service. And they get away with it, Not for long!

 

I do hope you have better service when you move to mijas costa, And as luck would have it we are based not to far from there.

 

kindest regards, Carl.
