We have just bought a villa in playa blanca and need a broadband provider. The villa has fibre optic cables, Tp links and is all set up ready to go from the previous owners, it has obviously been up and running before. 
Can anyone give me any advice on the best providers and how to contact them. We have several tvs and a gaming set up so would need a good speed  

Many thanks advance

Hi

I have used a few providers over the years , personally for the first year I would go with whoever was providing the service before ( check they were OK ) 

After the first year you can shop around or keep with them  

Just my thoughts - good luck

Thanks for your reply. 
Can I ask who you have used? 
We can’t get the information from the previous owners or agent what company has been used before. 

Thank you

Hi

Did they leave a router , sometime name is on it

We are currently with Movistar ( like BT in the uk ) as they were the previous provider

The other people we liked are Telecom Canaries - were called JMA - https://www.telecomcanarias.com/

Hope that helps

Do you have any contact information for Movistar to get it connected? Trawling through internet but proving trickier than i thought.

We have just had internet connected using Telecolanza who have a shop in Tias. Would recommend them as English speaking and very reliable and reasonable prices. Check out their website and call them and they will be able to help you choose the right package.
