FORT NOKS

Can anyone please give me any advice on having an internet connection installed in my apartment.

FN Services page has these fees listed...

Internet:
Modem and initial fee 80.00 EURO
Annual fee for telephone number subscription /once/ 72.00 EURO

I can see it is 80 euros to have the modem installed and the initial fee. Is the 72 euro annual fee for the telephone number subscription needed or is this purely for use of a telephone? Also, is there then a monthly/annual fee for the internet or is it dial up connection and therefore you pay for what you use?

Thanks,
Adam.

Hi Adam,

I think most, if not all of the Fort Noks complexes offer Wi-fi which does not require an installation/connection charge. Unfortunately, we paid for modem/installation last year with wi-fi only being introduced this year. The FN website is not up to date with this information or the costs which are on a pay-as-you-need basis. You should be able to get further informaion from your complex manager. You might get confused by the speeds on offer as we did (and still do) but if your needs are fairly basic and you will not be down-loading or up-loading large files, you should be able to get away with the slowest/cheapest on offer. If in doubt, try to get the advise of a techy

As for a telephone connection, we have used skype for the past few years and found it to be very reliable although if you want to be able to receive calls from others, you might find it more convenient to have a phone line installed. You don't need the phone line for internet access.

Hope this helps.
