Being a web designer in Lanzarote is much the same as being a web designer in the UK, but for one thing, the scourge of all Internet users on the island. Telefonica. One simple word that makes the blood of many an ex-pat boil.
Things you should know:
- In many areas the bandwidth does not come anywhere near close to what they say your package covers
- The bills are fairly untintelligble
- Often rural areas, and many new developments are not hooked into the system so, put simply, you can not get a line
- There is a limited supply of numbers so in some areas you may have to join a waiting list
- Although their sales line (for what it’s worth) can cater for English speakers (if they are in the mood), they do not offer ANY technical support in English
- They are far from reliable generally and can cut off lines for hours or even days for engineering work - without notice….
Very few residents on the island have good tales to tell about Telfonica - that, as you may guess, includes ourselves!
