You know I am a technophobe.... that goes without saying but I have had some major problems with the WiFi in my apartment since I arrived in Spain. Not with my mobile... but both laptops. Never had an issue before.

The Wifi company is a small one run by a well respected bloke in this area of Spain.....

So my question is this...

Is it possible for the company to 'power down' the connection if they see there has been no usage for a period of time.....

I will wait for any answer to this part of the question before I ask the next one....and tell you the status to date...

(I admit to technophobia but pride myself on being logical you see) Bouncy

I think you need to go and have strong words with Vasco or change provider. It's always mañana with the Spanish so maybe your wifi has a siesta too....

No to be fair @jonsie he really does have a good reputation. None of this manana for him. If he is in the office you get an immediate fix (where possible) If I struggle (only once) he came to the apartment in 15 mins and made some adjustments to the Wifi box on the outside of the apartment

The bigger companies couldn't care less if honest. I am also sure some of it was down to the laptop having a hissy fit at the new WiFi address...
