2520 Internet Provider

[QUOTE=romagna mia]We are beginners on the Internet but when we go as usual to our house in
Italy for 5 months from May we are taking our computer and would like
suggestions as to the best ISP, be it dial up or monthly payment and/or
ability to reduce cost of calls to England. We have an ISDN line and of
course have to pay the standing charges all year.

Anyone any experience of QUIPO?

Simple language please![/QUOTE]

Been here a week, signed up with infinto.it, free isp, pay only telephone charge, no isdn or dsl available in my area, so far have not been bumped once, getting 50k+.
They have other programs for $$$, however, so far so good for free.

You could consider the possibility of having a VOIP telephone: VOIP is Voice Over Internet Protocol. That means if you have an adslline, you would not need a telephone line anymore but at the same time you have also internet included. Fare on VOIP are normally much cheaper than normal telephone companies.
Hope it helps!

Have been on infinito.it average two hours daily, no bumps, at 50+k, connected first try each time. On-line still free, however, have not seen first phone bill yet.

I use Tiscali Flat. It costs around 12.99 a month and I can use the internet for free (no call costs etc) between 9am and 6pm. No ADSL in our area and it was the cheapest I could find.

We are moving to the San Vito dei Normanni area and will definitely need Broadband - anyone with any experience?

there is a site to test your area and phone number - but I cant remember it - search ADSL or broadband on this website - someone talks about it!!!

sorry to not offer any more help

something to do once we get a phone number then - or is it better to know who supplies it and get your phone from them?

Do you know anyone in your village with a landline number? You could test the area with that number.

don't know anyone anywhere yet, except our Agent. Won't need it for a few months, so will investigate when we are out there.

Romagna Mia is still alive, reading and wondering!
