It would have cost 70euros if I'd booked someone to come and install my first internet provider when we came to France but I didn't think to ask at the time and then it was too late. Coping with instructions in French computerspeak cost well over 100 euros because I had to keep asking them to repeat things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
