Hi. I have had a house for years now in Croatia. I let it when we aren't using it. Although there is a landline it is disconnected. Increasingly guests are asking for internet access. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best providers and way to go about this - need to be able to set limits on what and how much guests download..I think? Also as my children get older they will need it for revision I fear. Grateful for any suggestions. Am sort of internet savvy but dont want to find out I am not when I get the provider bill for lots and lots of kuna !!

It's a bit of a problem if your land line is disconnected as this is really the only option you have for heavy use. You only need 1 wifi modem connection for all guests. The only other option I know of is USB wireless internet access, but that is not what I would call a cheap option for heavy use, such guests and kids would demand. Just make sure if you get internet via your phone and connect wifi that you protect it with a password (otherwise neighbours and anyone about can use your connection for free).

I use a T-mobile USB modem. I pay 10 kuna for 24 hours unlimited use, which lets me use BBC iplayer. I have also tried a VIP usb modem, but the connection at my house was too slow - it was ok at other locations, so you would need to check which mobile network provides an accepable signal where you want to use it.
This summer, I intend to try a mobile WIFI setup - I will take over an unlocked mobile wifi modem, and see if I can connect to the T-mobile network and thus create a wifi setup in the house.

We use Optima telekom, for adsl. We used to have T-com, but had a lot of problems with them and customer service seemed like a dirty word to them. Optima have always sent people out to fix any problems pretty quickly. I think we have a 4mbs connection, unlimited download and they supply the wireless modem. It costs about 130 kuna a month, that includes the telephone as well. You'll have to get your line connected obviously, but I thought that was a pre-requisite to being able to rent your property out any way. Stand alone internet modems are available that don't require a phone connection, but they are more expensive.

You can reactivate your landline and use T-Com for the ADSL Connection - unlimited data download, 4mb connection for about 160kn per month, plus the telephone line rental - 60kn per month. You can then put a block on all outgoing calls.
Depending on the area of your property you might be able to use Optima.hr, Bnet.hr. Amis.hr or Iskon.hr
Most operators now give you the choice of a 12 or 24 month contract - with reduced costs for installation and equipment, or you can opt for a non binding contract where you will pay a fixed cost upfront for installation - approx 450kn.
I believe Bnet and Iskon give you the option of an ADSL connection without the need for a fixed line telephone.

It was very OK and easy when ordred from T-Com. We have unlimitted amount of datadownload (unlimmited usage) and 4 mbit capasity (speed). This for a reasonable cost about 150 kn per month. We had to have phoneline which we dont need but then installation and modem was for free. They came as ageered and installed witout any problem in our flat. We areed to get invoice by email and can pay even if we are not in our flat to get the post. Good luck. Recomend you to install this. We never rent anything without internet and in our own flat internet was installed before the beds
