Broadband abroad

[brightonbluenose]

Does anyone have any idea on the cheapest way to get broadband in Europe -Spain, France and Italy mainly?

Using an Orange dongle they reckon £16+ for half an hours usage!!

Is it possible to buy a dongle etc locally in the above countries much as you can buy a local Sim card?

Cheers

Not that im aware of. Dongles are the biggest rip off for usage abroad....Something that the various companies forget to tell you !!!
It seems that Swisscom have a very large control of Broadband in Europe , and charge astonomical amounts for 24 hr usage..... (approx 18 Euros). There may well be different broadband companies , but dont know of many.
Dont think you can by local dongles, but not totally sure....sure someone else here knows more !!

You're not on holiday again or planning another Gers European tour?

A visit to a cyber café seems the cheapest option.

You can get dongles for laptops here but download speeds are pretty slow, certainly in our area (mind you, we are in the arse end of nowhere). But I think they come with a contract rather than PAYG

Yeah - looks like the best idea and saves lugging a laptop around!
