As you know, we have three different fibre optic cable connections to choose from at Villas Andrea.
The original one was installed by Bitel and did not enjoy widespread take up.
Since then, Telfy and Vega Fibra have installed fibre cables.
They both offer something slightly different:
Telfy offer 100Mbs for 19.95 Euros per month, 300Mbs for 25.72 or 600Mb for 34.90. Vegafibra offer 600Mbs for 24.90 per month and 1000 Mbs for 29.90 (all prices plus tax).
They both offer other packages which include combinations of a landline, Internet , a mobile phone and local TV. at varying prices
As an incentive, Vega Fibra offer free installation and the first three months free if you sign up for an 18 month contract. I don't believe that Telfy offer anything similar.
I opted for the gigabit package from Vega Fibra and took advantage of their free installation/free months offer.
To be honest, 1000Mbs is over egging the pudding by quite a margin. In fact, 100Mbs is sufficient, even if you are streaming video. My friend in Liverpool says that his school has 550 computers sharing a 1Gbs connection without issues.
How would I rate Vega Fibra? I would give them 10/10. The engineer arrived on time and installed the connection without fuss.
However, I wanted something different to the norm, I wanted the supplied Huawei router to act just as a modem to my wi-fi router in the room where my computer is located. The installer did not have the knowledge to make this work so I called Vega Fibra who sent out an engineer who did understand what I wanted and was able to achieve it.
One week later, the connection has remained rock solid and is as close to the maximum contracted for as possible.
As you will know, the actual speed is governed by factors other than your connection so my surfing experience has not dramatically changed. I am however confident that the bottleneck will never be at my end. Also, uploading pictures and videos will be dramatically improved.
Would I recommend Vega Fibra? On the basis of the service I received, yes - without reservation. Am I being sponsored by Vega Fibra? No, definitely not.
