Thanks again, trouble is that to get Wi-Fi for the two months will cost about 200€ and I cannot see us getting that back in bookings.

Well you're not going to know until you've tried - you've got to speculate to accumulate in this business.
And as all the above posts make clear you definitely won't get it back without WiFi.
Is €200 really THAT much ? I can spend that on a night out !

We are planning on letting our house in France as a holiday let. So should we get internet?
How much extra is it worth or will it just make it easier to let?
The house has UK TV but no phone and mobile signal is poor. It will cost about 60€ to instal, 32€ a month and 50€ to cancel.
Thoughts please.

No French TV?

I wouldn't want to stay somewhere with no phone and no mobile signal - what would you do in an emergency?

You can get a good mobile signal in the garden. I would class lack of French TV an advantage, it is dire, endless game shows and accordion playing!
Yes it does cost 200€ to get internet for two months, maybe more by the time Orange have added everything they can. There is a phone line and it was on last summer.

No idea why it is that expensive - we pay about 34 euros a month for wifi via Orange - this includes line rental.

Yes I can get internet for about 34€ a month if I sign up for a minimum of 12 months, 34 x 12 = 408€ so it is cheaper to go for the Orange no contract which costs 50€ to start plus connection, 39€ a month and 50€ to end.
If you can find a cheaper alternative please tell me.
