Alegria
Wireless Internet
Free of charge to renters.
Our Internet system is called “Village#,” and the
password, if any, will be given to you in the pre-arrival
information communication. There are actually three such
systems, and you are welcome to switch to another one if you
find your first choice too slow. However, this may not solve
the speed problem during peak use hours. This Internet
system is shared with other renters and is inherently slow, in
particular during peak hours (mid morning, late afternoon,
prime-time evening). It is much slower than your DSL system at
your home or place of work. There is no Ethernet cable
connection at Alegria, only WiFi.
We strongly recommend that you bring your smart
phone, tablet, or laptop. On your smart phone or tablet,
make sure to engage the “Airplane Mode” and, following
that, turn on WiFi. This way you will avoid incurring
unwanted and uncontrollable air data charges, while being fully
connected to the Internet. We recommnd that you have a
"Skype" account and be versed in using Skype, so you can make
inexpensive voice calls to anywhere in the world.
