Hi
Any advice to get reliable internet connection in Karsiyaka .
I am moving to karsiyaka end of the month.
Adviced by friends last year, his Extend internet is terrible
Any better alternative

Best thing is to check with your near neighbours, see who they use, and obviously are happy with. It depends on line of sight from antenna to mast.

Don't necessarily write off Extend, as have heard many are happy with them, and no, I am not one of their customers or have anything to do with them.
You will hear good and bad reports about most internet providers, and people can only give you their personal experience, which can vary greatly.
I fairly recently tried to change to Turkcell Lifecell, but I can't get a signal at my house, despite others not far away getting a great signal. Have ended up with Nethouse, as there is a mast very close by. Have been really happy with speeds which greatly exceed that of my old supplier.

As Alphamike says your new neighbours will be a good starting point but also ask Lifecell to carry out a site survey, because if you can get an installation from them, they are very good value for a 20mbps 24/7 connection.

Agree with Groucho:

We live in Karsiyaka (coastal side) , use Lifecell, very good and excellent speeds & great value. Friends also in Karsiyaka (mountainside) cannot get a good enough signal (as yet).

So ask for a site survey from Lifecell in first instance, as well as having a word with people locally.

Many thanks for the helpful replies
I will contact life cell for signal survey, if nothing it will be NetHouse
Best Regards

Extend was useless for me in Karsiyaka (sea side near Lapta border). We have had excellent service from HayPem Net (previously XRealnet) for the last 12 years.

HayPem Net excellent Lapta coast side no problems with speed and downloaďs 20/8 mb plus all day and night. Good all round servive.

We are behind Karsiyaka square/park, and have tried multiple providers. Only multimax has met our needs for watching TV, emails and internet searching. Not the cheapest, but worth it when alternatives were either slow or just frustratingly buffered.

I'm near Izzy Yapi market on the seaside I've tried two but the third Lifecell has been excellent and 20mb

Hi Friends

I’m in Karsiyaka & use HayPem Net (previously XRealnet) & am very satisfied

Güzelyalı side (west) of Karşıyaka. Lifecell Digital, 20Mbs dowload. Very happy with Lifecell Digital.

Lifecell Digital will not install if their site survey cannot pick up sufficient signal strength to your location. They turned us down about four years ago for this very reason. Since then they installed a tower in the area and we are now with them.

Next door to Green Lotus and also in Alsancak near Starling on same side.

TML.

Lapta/Karsiyaka sea side and very happy with Lifecell Digital apart from the customer service. Never less than 20mbps and a vast improvement on Mad Max and Ubend.

We live in karsiyaka sea side and excellent service from Xreal Net Alsancak. Cost about 3000 tl per year.
