PROBLEM is there have emerged competitors to nationalized TV,phone,net service (Belgacom) but not available for all 3 outside population areas ...still stuck with Belgacom ...wifi 3g also only in population areas or else I would gladly dispense with cable internet and use wifi ...too bad. All their internet options are volume limited. There is a big stink in Belgium over the high price of internet of all flavors. One thing though...cellular phone service is available pegged 5 bars 2g or 3g every square inch of that country ...even in the woods!!

I can get a prepaid SIM card for 3G data from Vodafone in Spain, 250 MB, 29 euros; 400 MB, 49 euros. Fits in phone or PC card adapter for notebooks. Good for basic surfing while traveling. For phones with WiFi, the basic 3G service is all you need. Haven't been in Belgium since before mobiles. Home broadband is cheaper in France. Cellular internet in many countries is with prepaid cards, not monthly plans, and is often cheaper that way. Home service is usually cheaper by the month, depending on the country. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
