There are plans to move to France in a few months, somewhere around the Saint Eloy Les Mines (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=saint+eloy+les+mines&sll=46.176027,4.10614&sspn=0.650435,1.446075&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Saint-%C3%89loy-les-Mines,+Puy-de-D%C3%B4me,+Auvergne,+France&ll=46.150821,2.845116&spn=0.162683,0.361519&t=h&z=12) area. Some of the houses we looked at online have stated it has a broadband connection (and some not, whether that's the fault of estate agents we're unsure), but that's about all the info we can find out, and we're assuming it's ADSL.
I'm not having much luck on researching Internet access in France, or specifically that area mentioned as I keep coming across french language pages.
Is there a good resource I can look at, specifically:
- Choices of ISPs I can get
- a rough speed estimate
- pricing
- French Internet laws I should be aware of?
- And probably more difficult to find out - a reliable service with low pings, no traffic shaping, and a decent amount of bandwidth per month, ideally 30gb a month or more?
Thanks :)
Go to ThinkBroadband, they often have enquiries from France and Spain so the chances are that someone there will know the situation.

Can't you lay a long extension lead under the channel? ;D
Seems like TB have come up with a fair bit of info, Aaron.
