Getting a top quality ADSL broadband connection in the rural areas of Spain has always been a hassle. Always hungry for any monopoly they can lay their hands on, Telefonica has kept its rural networks to itself for as long as possible, barring all other ADSL operators from offering competing Internet services in Spain’s rural areas.

One of the (few) disadvantages of living in Spain’s beautiful countryside has been that all you could get was the 512Kbps Internet connection that Telefonica wanted to sell you for the same price as its full-speed ADSL town service. And you also had to do without the free calls to all landlines in Spain.

Now, Direct Telecom has finally obtained access to all rural ADSL networks in Spain and is in a position to offer you a range of ADSL options to suit all budgets! And if you’ve been missing those free calls to fixed lines in Spain, it’s time to rejoice because Direct Telecom is offering them too!

Take a look at this of Direct Telecom’s rural ADSL services, complete with prices and see for yourself:

Direct Telecom will also soon be offering a new 24×7 flat rate dial-up Internet service, called JustNet, in those rural areas that lie outside the current coverage zone of broadband ADSL in Spain (as well as for those who would like a cheaper alternative to ADSL). This will cost just 19.50€ a month

Besides, if you run a business in town and want a lightning fast 4Megabit or even 8 Megabit ADSL connection these are available from Direct Telecom for 89.90€ and 119€ a month respectively

Contact Direct Telecom for more information on these and all their other services.

If you are going to row 3,000 miles across an ocean in a small plywood boat, it’s good to have a special source of inspiration. For Peter Raab and Tim Wilks in their boat Martha Dos, it’s the aim of raising money for Orobal , based in Los Cristianos, Tenerife. The self funding charity offers help and a better quality of life to physically and mentally handicapped children.
The Atlantic crossing to Antigua from Puerto Colon, Tenerife leaves on December 8 and by then rowers Peter and Tim will have their bodies and the boat fine tuned for the gruelling voyage ahead. Rowing in shifts, they will do most of the hours together and split the rest so one rows as the other tries to sleep in the small cramped canin at one end of the boat.
They need all the friends they can get and Freebird have become the latest sponsor to get behind them. With their fleet of catamarans also based on the Puerto Colon marina, Freebird are delighted to be able to help their neighbours and give a boost to a local charity and will be organising a series of fund raising events.

The Atlantic is one of natures big tests and many rowing attempts have set off from the Canary Islands. Not many people realise that although nearly 3,000 people have scaled Mount Everest, and 200 died trying, only 174 attempts have been made to row across an ocean, and one in every three has failed.
There will be no negative thoughts from Peter and Tim as they set off , it’s a mental challenge as much as a physical one and they face around two months at sea with minimum food and water rations. As you tuck into Christmas dinner, spare a thought for them pitting themselves against nature. Good luck to Martha Dos and all who sail in her.

Value It Espana SL has published a detailed guide to Tenerife property prices, designed to help those with little or limited knowledge of the market pricing and how to measure for value for money when buying a property. It has surveyed all types of property for sale across all areas of the island, using a database of 5,500 properties.

The Value It guide uses the Spanish measure of value, cost per square metre of constructed space, as it is an effective measure of value, and lets buyers of property understand the comparative values of similar properties in the same area.

For the British buyer it offers a very effective tool that puts them on the same footing as a local buyer. The British are not used to measures of value by square metre (or foot), judging houses by numbers of bedrooms for example.  In Tenerife, British people may view many two bedroom apartments (in the same area) priced at the same or similar prices, and if  they are not used to square measures and costs per square measure they can fall prey to overpaying. For example if  two two bedroom apartments are priced the same, the 60 square metre apartment is poor value when there is a two bedroom apartment of 75 square metres in the same block or area with the same selling price.

Commenting on this John Gardner of Value It said ´´a savvy Spanish buyer will check and review the constructed space to measure value (selling price divided by square metres) while the uninformed foreign buyer can end up overpaying because he does not know the market in terms of costs per square metre and does not measure for it. And all too often the agents do not offer the information on the square metres.´

The Value It guide provides costs per square metre for all types of properties (from studios, to one bedroom apartments through to four bedroom detached houses). It details the lowest cost per square metres for all the categories of properties, the average cost, and it analyses the sizes of properties in those categories, suggesting target values in terms of cost per square metre. The Guide is available via the Value It web site and comes in the form of an e-book.

About Value It Espana SL.

Value It was formed by an English expatriate, J Gardner, who went through the difficult process of trying to work out good value when buying a house. He found that others went through the same, and he resolved to produce the Guide to make buying a property in Tenerife easier and more effective for other people. Value It is based in Santa Úrsula in the north of Tenerife. Its first Guide was published in the middle of September. Web address: www.valueit.es

Editors note:

Should you wish to have a copy of the Guide please e-mail to JohnGardner@valueit.es and we will send you a copy. It comes in a PDF format. For telephone contact: 0034 618 928 288
