I just bought a apartment here in Hurghada and I am here at first time. How much would somekind of DSL internet connection cost to my apartment and where could I get one?

The cheapest is LE 95 per month. For more info contact an internet service provider, like: internetegypt . com . The office in Hurghada is located in the apartments at AKA (the piramid-like building in Sakkala).

Address: 10A, Unit 104, First Floor, Center Point, Al Minaa St., Al Saqala Sq.,
Hurghada Trade Center
Telephone: (065) 344 7211
Of course there are other service providers.

What I know is that you first need a normal land line and an invoice/receipt from that line.
There is also the possibility of sharing an internet connection, but that depends on the other apartment residents.

I was using internet Egypt...and they were aweful!

Now we're using PC PRO (Te-data?) and they are much better!

What kind of speeds are the best that are available at the moment?

Good thread ,as we will all be needing an isp shortly,I thought it was a lot cheaper than NEARLY £10 A MONTH.

How long does it take to get a telephone line installed and to get an Internet connection? Presumably wi-fi is no problem?

Max speed is 2meg I think.

standard is about 10 days from when you sign the contract to the line being active. Wifi requires YOU to get a wireless router.

HTH

hello everybody
I just had to jump in on this thread because you will be paying 360le a month for a connection speed of 1 meg.

I have had adsl now for over 8 months and as you can imagine i checked all the options out first.

EGYNET prices start at 95le per month for 256 Kbps
170le per month for 512 Kbps
300le per month for 1024 Kbps
and 530 per month for 2048 Kbps
You will need a land line and it will have to be billed in your name.I would allow 2-3 weeks for them to process your adsl request.You will also have to pay an installation fee of around 50-200le.

Depends on where you are located - some local computer shops can "run a wire" as a temp solution - not something most people would consider but it works and it's cheap, but not very reliable or fast.
