Broadband packages
Views please on best broadband packages avaliable, one that can be turned off & on if possible, when we are not in France. Just been out for 9 days & very little tv worth watching.Dont know what speed we would get in Monferrer but should be enough for tv.

Broadband packages
We've just taken out a contract with Orange for broadband and telephone. €33.90 a month........but it can't be suspended. As we are here a lot we decided to go for it (bearing in mind that we still have to pay Talk Talk in England when we are here!)
Decouvert is the only package I know that allows you to suspend.
I must say that Orange have been brilliant. All arranged with their English speaking office and Live box delivered on time, easy to set up with clear instructions. We can now watch UK TV, if needed, on the IPad via Filmon.
Am investigating the Apple TV box to be able to watch it on the TV.
BTW we've just downloaded the VPN Tunnel Bear for IPlayer etc. first impressions very good. Half a GB free per month but if you tweet their product they give you an extra one GB a month or for €1.99 you get unlimited data.

I would suggest that SFR will also allow vacation stopages plus can cancel without notice.

FT is what Orange used to be called. But it's true that your exchange needs to be dégroupé if you want to avoid paying phone line rental as well as the adsl charges.russell wrote:FT still do the lines but Orange will arrange it for you if you are "dégroupé".Geoman wrote:Will look at Orange website we also need a line put in, do Orange arrange this or do you have to get your own installer?

Re: broadband packages
Can you give a source for that? The last time I looked this was impossible, presumably because all the operators but Orange have to pay ongoing fees to use the line to your home. Orange are using their own lines, which is presumably why Orange Découverte is the exception.monsans wrote:I would suggest that SFR will also allow vacation stopages plus can cancel without notice.

A SFR package with the above inclusives also can include all calls to landlines in Britain and other countries for a monthly of around 30.00
