IBERSWITCH or weve taken your money and DONTSWITCH
Now then should be start talking about something other than the disappearance of the animal van - the invisible train - and the council.. How about the bad service we all seem to be getting from Iberswitch - anyone got any comments ?
We have just changed over to Iberswitch. We signed up in December last year. Unfortunately Iberdrola are dragging their heels. We had our last bill off them in April and are now awaiting our first 2 monthly bill from Iberswitch. Just be patient and it will happen, but Iberswitch have no control over the change over. I will do a posting when I get my first bill.
Cruises from Alicante
I am sure I read earlier on in the year that they were going to be commencing cruises from Alicante Port this September, but I have been reading all the free papers over the past few weeks and cannot seem to find the information, has anyone else heard or got any info please.
Linda,
As far as I know cruise boats often arrive in Alicante when you can embark or dissembark.
I know that there is a regular service to Ibiza, Minorca and mallorca for both passengers and vehicles.
Surely the travel agent next to Cam Bank can assist you with all relevant information?
Hi

You will need to click into the various pages to see what is on offer. Look for the UK flag when in.
GOOGLE STREET MAP
We were out in Quesada last week and while I was hanging around in the Gama car park (I know, I know - sounds dodgy) waiting for the Mrs, I was passed by the Google Street View car that was recording the film.
Any techie people on here have any idea how long it takes Google to update their site? I would love to be able to see street view while back in the UK.
You can actually see roughly the areas they're covering at the moment online (Google "Where is Street View").
It can take up to a year to process the images due to legal fuss involving face-blurring etc. Well-spotted though!

Spanish Life
I love the Spanish Life websites however find that the forum is becoming more like an advertising board than somewhere for us to discuss issues and have questions. When questions are asked they seem to get lost in the advertising. Surely advertisers should use the other pages (Services) rather than the forum constantly.
I C P INSTALLER
I am looking for a Qualified electrician who is qualified to inspect our electrical installation,to see if it requires upgrading and is also qualified to carry out the upgrade.
Please email [email protected]
Hi Peter
We have used several different electricians and by far the best that we have found is the following gentleman. He has really helped us out of quite a few disasters !!
Mr Chris Neeson
Tel: 96-679-0201
Mobile 6865 95600
Hope that helps
I C P Installer,thanks for your help,he came to our house within 10 minutes of my call.changed over the I C P unit and now ready for Iberdrola to inspect it.
I will recommend this Electrician to all my friends.
Signing off Peter
Gregory,
After a long drawn out battle over my monthly charges Iberdrola told me that the law dictated that I should have an ICP installed. They gave me two alternatives.
One- get an electrician to supply and fit an ICP after which Iberdrola take approx. 13 Euros to commission the ICP and seal it.
Two- Iberdrola supply, fit, commission and seal for a one charge of 13 euros and a monthly rental for the ICP of 12 cents.
My electrician friends told me that if they did the job I would need to live until I was "215" years old to get my money back!
Best idea is to ring Iberdrola and ask them to deal with this matter for you.

Souxie,
I signed an agreement with Iberswitch in April, paid my administration fee and that was the last I saw of these people, the service or my money.
