Hi. Is it possible to get high speed internet access in your home/apartment in Lodz?

Also, I'm having a hard time finding a website where I can hunt for an apartment or a house to rent in Lodz....preferably two bedroom/two bath. Can someone tell me a website where to look for this? Thank you!

Yep, it is.

Here I am from Lodz! ... I write you from my home... high speed!

It is available... perhaps the link above by bubbawoo may help. But you can find out yourself when you come. It shouldn't be a problem.

If you need any help, I am present in this city ~ the best place in Poland (arguably).

Thanks! BubbaWoo and LoneStranger for your answers to my questions. We really need high speed internet so I was glad to hear it is available. The housing website is fun to look at....think I might need to get a Polish dictionary. :-) Thanks again.

Lodz, the best city in Poland?????????? Have you gone stark raving mad? Have you ever been to ANY other Polish city outside of Lodz???

Lodz is a hideous post-industrial wasteland. There is only one vaguely attractive street in the whole town.

Well you did say "arguably", so this is me starting that argument...

Concerning Internet. Should be no problem for a foreigner to organize a broad band link, though it might take a few weeks. The main difficulty is that the big Polish telecom company - TP SA - is a bureaucratic nightmare. Everything has to be signed in triplicate. You'll need to show your property lease agreement, or have to get your landlord to sign the agreement.

Internet in Poland is also relatively expensive and the quality of the workers who carry out installation is very low... all the good ones have left for Britain. You can get some good deals only if you sign up for 24-36 months. (see neostrada.pl)

Haven't been to Lodz so I can't comment, but nobody ever said to me that it was the best city.

I was told its a 'closed city'.
Unless your well connected, your business will not survive in the city, if you even get one started. Lots of corruption, backhanders, brown envelopes, and mafia.

Only repeating what I was told but nobody ever said this about any other city in Poland.

I was born in Lodz, that's my city also and I love it!, but you have to discover her real face. It's the city of artists, good pubs and fantastic fun, but you need somebody who helps you discover it

... Lodz is a good city. I love Lodz. I live here! Whats wrong with the rest of the people!

See...we have corruption....but we are aware of it and improvements ar going on.

The broadband problem was exagerated. Its not that bad. Polish people are co-operative.

We shouldnt believe hearsay. Please come Lodz, Poland and investigate yourself.
