Life / Best broadband supplier in Poland [19]

Hi Luke
How did you get on with this?

I'm in exactly the same position. I'm with Play (mobile internet). Although I thought I was getting unlimited data with 10 up / 10 down connection speeds, this is not the case. I am maxing out the unlimited data (hahahaha!) - turns out only limited to 100GB per month. I'm not even downloading movies. It's simply the volume of work I do.

Anyway, did you find a decent provider in the end?

We've just bought a flat in Bydgoszcz centre, so plan to be here a while. So, landline and long contract is fine. Just need massive data and at least 10/10 speeds.

Thanks for the advice. Can't PM at the moment, just joined and need to post at least 2 'useful' forum messages.

It is mainly for work, but everything in the flat (laptops, pc, ipads, phones and TV) all connect - bandwidth is very prohibitive, tried jury rigging an old wifi router from UK to act as a gateway, but didn't make a lot of difference. Will only need one static IP, so I can VPN more securely into my UK office.

Slowly learning that everything here is all about the gloss... scratch a little deeper and you find layers of red tape and bureaucracy (and limitations that are professed not to exist).

Still, I love living here and don't have any plans to move back to the UK any time soon - as long as my company keeps paying me and is happy for me to work remotely.

Hi All
My wife and I have just bought a flat in Bydgoszcz and I'm looking for the best options for internet.

We have a LTE mobile connection from Play, but I have just learned that the 'Unlimited' deal is not actually unlimited. Because of the volume of work I do, I am exceeding 100GB a month.

Does anyone know what the best and most cost effective way of getting a decent (and truly unlimited) connection is?

I need:
At least 10MB/s upload and download.
Properly unlimited (or at least 500GB data per month)
Static IP address
Decent wireless router

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Food / Possible to find Indian vegetarian food in Poland? [17]

Merged: Curry - The missing link in Poland

Hello to all Indian fans.
I have been living in Poland for 4 months and was really missing a decent curry. Back home, it was a bit of a staple - I love cooking curries. Alas, I had no luck in the local shops / supermarkets (Kaufland, Biedronka, Lidl - even in Tesco) finding Indian ingredients. I really wanted to find something like Patak's or Sharwood's sauces, pasted, pickles, chutneys, etc.

But, a couple of weeks ago, I discovered Auchan. Hooray!! Best supermarket EVER...!

Not only did they have all the Indian things I missed, they have a fantastic range of beers (including real ale) and their fresh meat selection is unrivalled. The large Auchan near Ikea in Fordon (Bydgoszcz) is superb. The only problem is that I don't have a car yet, so it will not be a regular shopping venue for a while. :-(

But, there is now hope. I now have all the things I was missing from home... decent bacon, cheese (yes, I found some fantastic mature cheddar in Biedronka), real ale and curry.
