Best and unexperienced Internet in Tarbes

[Martin_O_Connor]

am to start working from home in Tarbes, moving from London. I need advice on good reliable internet. I live in the center of Tarbes France. I went on Orange site this morning and they charge 100 euro a month for unlimited, a bit mad I thought as in the UK I pay £37 and never have issues. Do advise as I hope to be there by Christmas. I would like to have it all in place for when I get there. Thanks Martin O’Connor

There’s a whole thread here on a review of 4G internet by Bouygues, the benefits, costs and associated comments - worth a read through…
I’m sure the service will be available in Tarbes. Was that cost of 100€/month for fibre?

Review Home Internet - 4G Box from Bouygues Telecom

Having had a bit of a nightmare with SFR recently - 25 days to repair an exterior cut cable (don’t ask!) - I started looking for an alternative solution for our home internet. I can’t go near orange - hate them, so I started a trial with the new (launched Jan 2017) 4G Box from Bouygues @ 32,99€ pm including rental. So far - bloody brilliant. I get unlimited internet with average download speeds of 45Mbps and upload of 35Mbps. My IPTV is fully connected and functional, great connectivity for our PC’s, mobiles, tablettes, IP Camera’s (local and external access) and our home security system (EPS). Essentially it’s a Huawei E5180 4G Router which simply and quickly connects to our local 4G mobile network. No need for any ADSL lines / cables for the supply which, as we simply don’t need our landline anymore, is just great! And…no contract. It’s not available for everyone and is currently being rolled out to selected ‘low population’ areas so as not to be too much of a drain on the local 4…

I found this one - https://www.red-by-sfr.fr/

It’s a good price and got good remarks.

That review seems suspiciously fluent. Surely it couldn’t be a bit of professional puffery.

[anon88169868]

Yes, it does but the poster (S***n A*******g I think, for those who have been around long enough) was a regular and not, as far as we know, a Bouygues advertising shill.

Correct - he is a retired airline pilot and provided a considerable amount of expertise on things technology. He is very articulate and came across well with explanations.
