Hi we're moving over to our place in Monte San Martino this Spring and I need to sort out some kind of internet connection. We do not have a landline and after much debate with Italia telecom it seems it will be many years before this is possible.

Hi sprostoni - who is your vpn, we have been using iportal and found them to be fantastic in the past but they are baffled why we are having these problems. We were going to take the laptop into fidoka today to see if it happened there but unfortunately as we were on our way out the door discovered my dad had managed to take our car keys back to the uk with him..no spare and skeleton was nicked with my jewellery in our burglary last month. Wont be going anywhere till Monday now...Sigh, trying times eh. Dont think I will be seeing that england/scot game this w/e after all! edited to add - doh just seen you already told me that - will check em out, thanks, its been a long day. Am
Ours has still not arrived - should it have done? If one does not turn up do you know if we are obliged to get hold of one? I too have heard its v tricky for non fluent italian speakers - I have a good friend who is fluent and offering to help people like myself complete it for a small fee - if anyone is interested pm me and I will put you in touch with him. Am
aha, finally they appear - some minutes after first posted. Ok shall stop having a conversation with myself and shut up..
I get this message - Post aargh, havin a technology tantrum here.. has been created. but no sign of it or the first one - if anyone else can see it could you please pm me, what is going on..
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Owl-Cm119-Wireless-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B001JJ... Ours is invaluable and very educational. We run a big house with pool pump, 1 leccy oven, 2 washing machines and this lets us know if we are reaching our 6.6 capacity and equally what any appliance is costing us to use, its quite changed my thoughtless past behaviour..you could use it in the uk and see how much you use there to judge if you really need 15k here..
yes I just bought an excellent one off ebay.it http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200610538338&ssPageNam... 146€ delivered free for a king size one, I am very pleased with it. Am
Thanks guys will check out your suggestions, think the interesting rose garden looking like the most likely option at the mo...
Its actually a metal frame which goes around the bed on all 4 sides so sadly no that wouldn't work, might be able to squeeze the mattress but the base would not fit and I cant find 5ft bases...
Paying ICI is quite easy - you can print out the form here http://www.spcon.it/images/BOLLETTINIICI-2005NEW.GIF and this form calculates the amount for you http://www.dossier.net/guida/calabi.htm although I am a bit confused that it talks about abitazione principale because I did think that if it was your principal residence and not classed a luxury property there was now none to pay. I believe if you are non resident you do still pay. We pay in cash at the post office every December and they are very helpful if you have filled the form in incorrectly. You may need an Italian speaker to help you with the website but a charge of 250€ is exorbitant, did it possibly include an income tax return for the cadastral value too? Am
That was great to see wasn't it. Absolutely delighted for Italy and really cheered me up to see those scenes of joy in Rome after a rather sad and shocking couple of days.. Was a nervy edge of seat last few minutes tho, yikes.. Am x
