I have whined, I have cried (well almost), I have been to hell and back trying to get a half decent Internet TV Telephone Package installed.
Why? Because Part of Alta de Lisboa has forever been plugged into one of Portugal Telecom’s remote exchanges in a weak attempt to keep us from using the competition.
The competition has tried to fight back in the form of ARTelecom (which was pretty shoddy for me as it didn’t work most of the time) and Netcabo and various mobile operators. They are all too expensive or not reliable enough.
Now we are promised something new…
CLIX FIBRA
I could not believe it when a couple of weeks ago I asked some workers what they were doing and they said they were installing Fibre Optics…..
Well folks it’s here (or will be in about two weeks
It’s a shame the clix website still doesn’t work (though it will surely work one day so you can check it out here: Clix Fibra )
I have signed up and am ready for download speeds something like this:
Alta looks once more (in more ways than one – but more on that later) to be pioneering. There are three areas in Portugal with this service at the outset (or so the salesman told me … do we believe telecommunications salespeople???)… Somewhere in Porto, Expo and Alta

I have Fibra from Clix and I’m pretty happy with it. The only thing is quality of the TV image, since it is still being used the codecs for ADSL.
I recomend it! The velocities are very good but not has the video!

Hi,
I had Clix Fibre installed this weekend.
The service is great!
The TV has a good definition, in my opinion it’s better then Zon (TvCabo), and the internet is awesome. In a couple of hours I dowloaded more then 13 Gbs of information at high rate velocity.
For me, it’s the best solution in the market right now.
After almost 1 year living in Alta without a real solution for TV+Net+Phone we get a service worth paying for!
I couldn’t be more satisfied!
I recommed it to everybody! Don’t forget that Fibre optics is the future!

Hi Tom should we organize another playdate?

I just hope you don’t have to deal with clix customer service, but the speeds look sweet.

I found this post from a google search about fibre. Since youtube no longer hosts your video, how about the image from speedtest.net with your network speed result ?
