WiFi and mobile questions

marktmorgan

Hi everyone.


I've read a lot about home WiFi not being that great in most parts of Turkey...fact or fiction? If so what types of speeds are you getting?


In the short term I'll be using a Turkish SIM for tethering. Can anyone give me an idea of what a contract with 50gb of data and unlimited calls would cost? By way of comparison I pay £20 for 100gb and unlimited currently in the UK.


Oh, and finally, will my Alexa's and fire tv sticks work out there or will I need to buy in country?


Kindest Regards


Mark

It is way too slow  but at least there is.

No satellite connection unless you work for U.S. Embassy . But U.S. hours they go sleep.When you work  Eastern or Central time zone  ,speed of internet is adequate. Turkcell has little better than Vodafone. That's why internet companies are based in Tel Aviv not in Istanbul.But interesting fact ,if you get satellite internet from Kos Island across or Chios which is across Cesme of Izmir you can get fast internet but you gotta live in Bodrum or Cesme and will pay in Euro.Vodafone cellphone I only paid $5 month which is cheap you would pay $125 in The States.here only 125 TL .

As visitor you can get faturasiz ( pay as you can go and throw cellphone) second hand asker phone they call it)when men go to military obligation they buy 3.third world cellphones.I used in Ethiophia once.

@marktmorgan We do not look TV apart from YouTube channels (DW, BBC, ..) Internet is fine we have a provider in Mahmutlar with 100 mb which us fine for us (4 mobiles, 2 PC'and Netflix)

EUR 20 pm I would say. (could be better, but I am not complaining)

Thanks cdw, but you've not stated who your intetnet provider is...was that deliberate?

Mark, I don't live in Turkey yet so I'm not well versed in the options available but I believe my mother who lives in Kusadasi uses Turkcell as her internet service provider. Here is a link to their website if you want to research to determine if it needs your needs:

@marktmorgan Please send me a private message, not really allowed to make promotion I think

Some good, some bad, being stable I think is also important (some can be fast, but disconnections all the time is also not good)

Independent of the provider I think some resets are needed from time to time. (I am much, much more happy than the initial provider)

Quite happy (or perhaps even more) with current provider.
