Mark 2 - by PTT do you mean the main post office in town?
Apologies, I should have said the Turk Telecom office not the PTT.

And would 8mb be ok for watching tv?
Yes

And finally finally - I am using a 160gb Acer netbook over here as it is easy to carry on my scooter - 1 mb RAM - should that work with UKTV and is it easy to get the right cable to throw picture to my tv screen?
Yes & yes.



Ian: You should have a pm waiting, Mark.

We have broadband with no landline - unlimited YTL 57 ( I think) per month with Turk Telecom. Works fine.

Funny thing though we went in the other day to get costs for adding on a landline and the man I spoke to told me you couldn't have ADSL without a landline!!! I had to almost convince him that we did already!


 
Just a query; We stayed last year for 2 months, I needed Internet at home, they had an offer of free internet for 3 months then cancel and pay nothing or after 57 or 59TL per month for internet only, I plugged a phone into the socket and it was connected, have you tried this with your connection?
When we were living in there I paid approx 49 or 59TL for phone and broadband. 57TL for broadband only is not a saving, this appears that you will have a phone line attach too.  

Turk telecom has a few offer on their website now.

If I do sign up with TT do I just go to their building near Kipa with my blue book and do I buy the wireless router and handset off them or is it like the old days of BT where you are better going to a retailer to buy them?

Oh and if we move can we take it with us for a fee or have we broken the contract?

Yes go into the building near Kipa. You need your residency and passport with you. We bought TT's modem, but they do seem to have some good options in say Bimek in Fethiye with 2 aerials.

On any of these broadband offers is there the option to downgrade to line rental only for long periods you are not in Turkey? Thanks

The modem will be your property if you buy it so you are free to do what you wish with it. No need to go for an all singing/dancing one Ian, something around 80/100tl will do fine if you only intend to use 1 or 2 laptops in the same home. Kipa had some recently at 65tl, might be best to nip in there & see if there are any left.

I don't know but if I get in there on Monday and get a decent English speaking assistant I will ask for you.
