WIFI in Licata Marina?

Thank you Bill! 20 Euros a month but you need a booster which you can rent for 5 Euros a month, slow in the daytime as the office uses it.

I spent a lot of time on this. The difficulty is that the actual connection to the office is pretty slow. The booster does not make a big difference as it does not improve the underlying Internet connection, just the link between you and the wireless transmitter which was never the problem. I use the Internet daily for work so I am pretty sensitive to performance and the marina wifi was unusable most of the time.

I then tried a number of different PAYG providers and the service from TIM was clearly the best (wind hardly worked at all)

Is it worth getting hold of a 4G dongle/MiFi device - are those providers using 4G yet?

There is some 4G on the island and TIM and Vodafone claim to provide it. There certainly was not 4G in Licata or Marina Di Regase but I believe it is available in Regusa and Catania.

[Carmel2]

If you want your own connection you will have to do it via Tim or Wind etc.

Just so folks heading this way no the 35 euro per month for 30 G no longer stands, the best I could get was 10G for 30E per month PAYG.

Surprised to read that as the deal is definitely on offer here in Marina di Ragusa?

On the question of hull fouling, we were in Licata last winter and found it quite noticeable. However, for about 150 Euros, a diver went down and cleaned the hulls and props spotelessly for me. As this was for 2 hulls, and took 3/4 of a day, I thought it was cost effective.

We took a deal in Greece with wind, the deal stoped for new coustmers but carried on for existing one's, maybe it's the same. We will be passing through Ragusa, so will ask them.
