Broadband

Can anyone advise me on the simplest and quickest way to get broadband at my villa please? 

Hi,

I'm just back from Roda (Phase 3),  I was pleased to see there is site wide wireless access although the signal strength was not great in our apartment.  It cost 11 euro for five 24 hour passes or 3.95 for a day.  Just search for wireless networks and hook into Roda_Free

Hope this helped

thats good news, im there tomorrow and i normally hire the Roda dongle

txs for the info

Hi Ray,

Your apartment is just across the pool from ours, I was chatting to the Irish couple who were staying there a couple of weeks ago and they said you owned it.  Should have no problem with wi-fi access.

PS. I was also stopped on two occassions crossing the golf course to the shop/clubhouse, I told them that there was no way I was walking the long way around.  Apparantly they had a meeting about access frrom phase 3 and are considering letting only  owners with golf rights cross the course which totally defeated the reason of why they stopped me as they said it was too dangerous.

Thanks MarcoPolo,

Where do we get the passes from?

Once you hook into the wireless network and try to search the web you will be stopped and they will offer you the choice of passes to continue, we bought 5 day passes and paid through paypal but I'm sure credit/debit cards can be used as well.

That's great.  Thanks for your help.

couldnt pick it - probably the crappy in-built wireless card in my laptop!

im in roda now and i purchased a vodafone pay as go dongle, its 50 euro to buy the dongle and you then top up like a mobile phone,

Back home unfortunately after 2 great weeks. 

Completely failed to get broadband except in the club house.  Couldn't pick up the Roda WiFi from the villa & searched dozens of phone shops for a pay as you go modem.

I'll try again next time.

we cannot pick up roda signal - does anyone know if they plan to make signal stronger to cover whole resort?

re the pay as go dongle, i had the same issue, tried about 6 shops. I eventually got one in the shopping complex near cartegena where Leroy Merlins is. There is a place on the left hand side called 'something' mart and there was a vodafone kiosk that had them.

Vodafone have also launched a interesting deal where you can get a pay as you go dongle for 40 euro per month and use it in any european country with a max 5Gb per month.
