www.spainexpat.com/#Telephone

There are other sites that may help. Telephonica is not highly regarded, generallly refered to as supplying (sic) a third world service to a western european country.

I am building a house in the Jalon valley, no hope of getting a phone line, only radio phone link. The house will be remote, so probably acceptable.

There are huge costa developments without phone lines, I kid you not. Owners are desperate for a workable internet solution. There are many business with only a supposedly 56k modem connections.

Wanadoo is the main ISP, but takes (90% of the time) 3 days to deliver email. Again, this isn't a joke, I receive/send emails to Wanadoo addresses weekly.

Where abouts in Spain will you be?

Funny, my mate just outside Valencia has no problems, can even game over his 56k dial up. Gets a good spanking from us on BB but that'll learn him for marrying a Spanish bird

Sounds like Spain needs to get some more free money from the EC (ie us)

Orihuela, Alicante region.

Seems to be available in the region, will have to get a phone installed and go from there. If only it were my place, not the MDs
