Hi - can anyone let me know what is the cheapest way to get broadband on Costa blanca.  We have a holiday home so don't want to pay a monthly fee but just have broadband when we on holiday.  I heard of one that you can just have it switched on when you are there, does any know about these or anything similar.  Any info would be helpful, many thanks .

You could either get a PAYG dongle or set up an account with a company that allows you to switch it off when you aren't there.

The dongle means you just pay for what you use and companies like Vodafone do them. The big Carrefour shops and individual shops do them. You are limited to the amount you can download so it depends what you use them for.

The companies, like dvblab, Ole, Teleast and so on will set up a very small (about 6 inches across) dish for you plus the cabling and router/wifi for about 100 euros. There is then a monthly contract of about 18 to 20 euros which gives you unlimited downloads. You email them when you are going to be away and they turn it off, email them when you are coming back and they switch it back on. No charge when you are not there.

Downside is that they only do full months so if you are there for 2 weeks you pay the full month. I don't know which of these companies cover your area, you'd have to contact them and see (all have websites). We use dvblab which also gives us a landline phone but we are here permanently. I know if you are with dvblab and are here for, say, the last week in one month and the first two in the second, they will only charge one month rental whereas others would charge for 2 months so you would need to check that out.

Hi all,

We have the same luxury problem ;-) but i think i found a solution for our situation. It's called a MiFi station. Pop in a sim card and you have your own WiFi set. When buying a dongle you have to put it in a computer and that's it. When using a MiFi station 5 to 10 people can be on line with computer, tablet or smartphone. Sim cards can be bought via Lebara, Carrefour, Vodafone and so on. Look for a prepay card for an amound of data to use and you're not stuck to a monthly fee if you're not there. Before next month this will be my thing to do.

We use this company   http://www.nextcomunicaciones.com/en/productos.html#products_6         Look at the Next Vacation pack - you only pay 3 euros a month when you are away.
