COMPUHOST V2 HISTORY EXPORT TO PC INSTALL
Telitec did eventually reduce the install costs but at a price of even harsher contracts and various other means of tying people into the service, to be fair this was the norm for internet providers in Spain at the time. The contact terms were also very harsh towards customers. Over the next couple of years it became apparent that everybody wanted a telephone line but not necessarily the Internet, that situation has totally reversed today, however the cost of getting the internet installed to carry the phone service was prohibitive to most at more than 300 euros to install and over 45 euros a month for a very basic 1Mb connection. At first Telitec had no interest in Telephone lines so it was agreed that Camposol Computers could continue to develop and provide their own Telephone system over the Telitec Internet service. Camposol Computers were chosen to carry on as the resellers for the new service known as Telitec and also became the installers and local support for the service. A new company was created by the owners of an LCR provider called Fonicatel to take over the defunct Internet service on Camposol. It’s now 2005, the lack of telephone lines on Camposol was still a major concern of residents, Chris has been trying out some new technology based on VOIP to bring landlines to people’s homes via the Internet, all was going well and Camposol Computer started to roll out the telephone system to people with internet connections, shortly after the launch Broadband Solutions went bust. Camposol Computers became a reseller and helped the residents of Sectors B, C & D get connected. Shortly afterwards a company called “Broadband Solutions” Started to provide Internet access via satellite to the other sectors. It very quickly became the Hub of communication on Camposol for sectors B, C, and D as initially only A sector residents had access to the Internet.

Finally in late 2003 Telmicro announced they were providing Internet via the Cable TV system for A sector and “Camposol Computers” opened in a small property on A sector. Their plan was to open a shop / Internet Cafe on Camposol called “Camposol Computers” However at this time Urbanization Camposol had no Internet service what so ever and there was nothing on the Horizon.
So Chris took a job with Max Informatica in Mazarron repairing computers & Julie took a job with an estate agent while she worked on her master plan in the beauty industry. However it wasn’t long before reality hit home and the realisation, if they wanted to stay in Spain, they needed to get back to work and earn a crust. In the UK Chris was involved in IT & electrical engineering and Julie had a string of successful business ventures in the health and beauty industry under her belt. The story begins in 2002, Frustrated with the ever worsening rat race and lack of opportunity in the UK, Chris Jennings and his wife Julie sold up, bought an off plan house on Camposol, packed up the three kids and moved to Spain to come and live the dream hoping to try something different.
