[piposerve2fly]

Hello,

Next week i'm going to move to Weeze :D Finaly. And i have some question that maybe some people on this forum can answer for me.

I wantr to keep TV and DSL+Telephone separate, so when DSL is down i can watch tv ( i have that here in Netherlands also)

1.So my question is, what internet/telephone provider can i choise and what is the best tv provider, that has digital TV and also a couple of dutch tv station on it??? At this moment in Netherlands i'm using Tele2 ADSL. And Casema digital cable TV.

I only have electric and water in the house in Weeze no gas.

2. So my question is, what company do i have to choice for water and electric?? I hear that RWE is good and is cheap??

So if anyone here can give me some info, because new job and moving is taking a lot of time from me. So it is ease when i have some info.

If you have some telephone numbers of company's please help me then.

Thanks and hope to see some of you soon on Weeze

As always there are a lot of diffent providers, lots of them are very cheap but you are in trouble if something wents wrong.
You didn't tell us where in weeze, because in some places there may be NO DSL (eg. Wemb>Am Bruch) or there are some problems with the speed!

I would prefer the good old german Telekom (T-COM.de) for Internet AND Telephone together.
There are cheap (not the cheapest!) rates for both with flatrates. Take a look in the Internet http://www.t-home.de/index.html .


For most Streets in Weeze you can have CableTV as well but I would use a SAT-System if you are allowed to install at your home. It's cheaper an gives you all programms, specially also the dutch ones.
I don't know anything about CableTV.

For electric power take a look here: http://www.tarifvergleich.de > but you will have to do it in GERMAN!

For example you could take Stadtwerke Düsseldorf - Düsselstrom Regio
I know a lot of friends using them and have no difficulties. They are cheap and reliable.

About this contract I found:
Stadtwerke Düsseldorf
Düsselstrom Regio
Zahlweise monatlich
Cent/kWh 19,16 Cent
Grundgebühr 92,82 €
Preisgarantie Bis 31.12.2008
Laufzeit 12 Monate
Verlängerung 1 Monat
Kündigungsfrist 4 Wochen zum Vertragsende

About the Water you will have to ask your hirer of the house.

Hello All,

Thanks for the reply's. I'm going to live in London Street in Weeze. I know that there is a satellite antenna on my building, so maybe i have to buy a decoder for it. I know that there was a connection box in my new house.

I was also thinking of go to T-com. Here in Netherlands i use T-mobile and i also have a pre-pay card of Germany so maybe i go to T-com.

Yes i have to learn German soon, but i think when i'm working there i learn it quickly.

How about downloading in Germany, is there a datalimit every month or can i download what ever i want (fair use policy)???

Peace Danny PiPo

It depends on the contract, a real flatrate is FLAT, so without any limits. With T-Com there should be no problem, but some others limit the speed on IP-ports used for filesharing!

That would be on of the best solutions for you. You just need a receiver starting from 50€ or with internal Harddisc maybe about 200€. Ask your "facility manager" about the connection.

In this Street there should be no problem with ADSL connection.

I hate ISP that drop your speed if you downloading true p2p. Damn. Ok that means i'm going to T-com then, the connection of T-com was also in my house.

Other question, if i put my TV in the wall tv connection, do i have then signal? Here in Netherlands there is always a signal on the TV line.

Is there no any TV provider that haves digital tv with decorder, like UPC and Ziggo in Netherlands??
