Please be aware that I am extremely busy at the present time and am unable to respond as quickly as I would usually like to.
If you have messaged me and I haven’t replied within 48 hours, please give me a nudge or call me on 06.04.46.56.42

Thank you in advance for your patience

** COVID-19 update **
I’m open for business as usual, so if you’re experiencing difficulties with your satellite equipment/computer, please give me a call.
Internet connections can still be ordered and other than 4G systems there may be a delay in delivering the service [movement restrictions by Orange]

Please stay safe and look after yourselves.

Internet

France is at the forefront of modern internet connection technologies and a wide range of services are available including 4G routers with speeds up to 115mbps, VDSL phone line connections with speeds up to 100mbps and of course, fibre internet with speeds up to 1000mbps.
This area also has a lot of rural communities where choices are limited but there is usually a choice between phone line broadband, wimax and even 4G.
If you would like help with your internet service please get in touch here

Fibre internet in the Charente, 1000mbps packages are now available! – find more information here

Home security.

I personally recommend Nest’s range of security camera’s, you will need an internet connection but with the App loaded onto your phone, you get a live view of your property and can easily set system alerts.

Please visit the Nest page for more information here or contact me here

New Service – how to reduce call costs to UK mobiles!

Many clients complain that calls to UK mobiles are not included in their tariff and they suffer from high excess call charges.
I can show you, using apps that can be installed on ipads, tablets and smart phones, how to keep in touch with friends and family in the UK – at no extra cost.
For 25€ ! will install and demonstrate, on your equipment, exactly how this works – get in touch for more info!

WhatsApp

In France with a UK mobile? Contact me via WhatsApp – simply add my mobile number to your address book and use your data plan instead of your call minutes.
It’s also easier for me to contact you!

Small request..

Please do not forget that I am a small business and earn my living advising/supplying and installing.
Please do not expect my services for free – I have a family to feed!
I spend many hours researching my products/services and just recently I have been contacted by a small number of ‘clients’  via email and phone, some have even arranged on-site appointments, where I have been expected to pass on my knowledge for the home owner to complete the task without any recompense!
