Broadband Internet Service - in English - in the Vendee
We have teamed up with UKTelecom to bring you a Broadband internet service specifically for British living in France, with help locally to install should you require it.
| SPEED |
Broadband is the fastest, easiest way to enjoy the internet.
With UKTelecom broadband, you'll get connections up to 400 times faster than typical dial-up services. No more waiting for pages to load. Download music and video easily and quickly. |
 |
| UNLIMITED SURFING |
Since your connection is always "on", you can surf and check your email as often, and for as long as you like.
What's more, your broadband connection uses your existing phone line without engaging it, so you can surf and talk at the same time. |
WI-FI
MODEM |
You'll get an advanced technology wi-fi modem that permits you to connect one or several computers in your home to the internet without worrying about all those unsightly cables.
|
 |
| FREE PHONE CALL PACKAGES |
You get the exceptional UKTelecom call rates as standard: For example calls to landlines in the UK and France are under 3 €cents a minute with no connection charge!
See the full tarif sheet
UKTelecom offer a good value all inclusive package which pays back if you spend more than 5.5 hours a month on the phone to landlines in the UK and/or France. Calls are included in the value broadband package! (When you take an inclusive package, other calls are still at the value rates).
|
| FREE UK2U SERVICE |
We'll give you a local number in the UK (starting with 0844...) that you can give to family and friends back home. They'll dial this easy local number to ring you in France, and it will cost them only 2p/min from any landline in the UK.
|
| UK TV |
 Access to UKTV is provided by giving you a Virtual Private Network which enables you to
access many UK services not normally available abroad.
More information can be found on the UKTelecom website |
| ENGLISH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE |
Unlike all other broadband services in France, UKTelecom provides you with full support in English. We provide complete set-up instructions in English, and if you should need assistance, our English-speaking technical team is available to help via a dedicated hotline. This is a FREE phone call from a landline in France, and a normal call rate from the UK..
If you are still nervous, or have any problems - if you live within a reasonable distance of South Vendée we can come and install for you
(for a small additional fee)
Of course, the multilingual help desk is available to to assist you with billing and other customer service issues. |
