How long does it take to get an internet connection

Post new topic

Hi there,
I am arriving in Malta in a week or so, Gozo to be precise and will try and get an internet connection installed to my new home via Melita.

Does anyone know how long it will take from walking in to having the line installed?

Since I won't have an e-residence card yet, what ID proof or address proof will Melita require in order to get them to install a line?

TIA
Rob

i got mine within two days ,went in friday night they installed 8am monday morning *this was go
Melita will require proof of address , passport and a 75 euro deposit as you dont have your e-residence card

go will install for free with no deposit but they do ask for 25 euro if you want a wireless router
