AXARFUSION is a telecommunications company who provides fibre optic internet connections in the village of Competa. For the other local villages eg: Canillas de Albaida, Archez, Sayalonga, Arenas, Torrox and the surrounding countryside AXARFUSION provides fast WIFI internet connections. They also offer very competitively priced mobile telephone contracts, fixed line phone numbers and television services.
This month I met with Dani Hill and his business partner Borja Garcia for a chat about the services they offer and how this new business is going.
Dani moved to Spain with his family in 2000, he finished his education in Spain and specialised in telecommunications at College. He has always been interested in computers and telecommunications and so it only seemed natural to pursue this line of employment. Upon leaving college he started to work for a telecommunications company in Malaga and then later worked for a local Internet service provider. He gained further experience working as a systems administrator for Axartel. It was here where he met his now business partner Borja. Borja is the owner of Axartel and was rolling our fibre optic networks along the coast to areas such as Nerja and Torrox. The opportunity arose for Dani to lead with this new technology in his home town of Competa. Dani and Borja had worked well together on previous projects and have developed an excellent working relationship. Borja’s experience, the latest technology and Dani’s local experience meant this new business had all the right elements for success.
For many years the village of Competa has suffered with old and poor quality ADSL cables, so this was the perfect location to lay the new technology of fibre optic cables. Dani, under the new company name of AXARFUSION met with the town hall and presented them with a project of how the system would be rolled out and the proposed benefits for the village. It took some time to get the correct licenses in place, but in June this year the fibre optic cable installation was finished. Dani explained to me that fibre optics is the future and the latest technology, it is not affected by poor weather and there are fewer components to go wrong. The internet signal is then transmitted via WIFI to the countryside by what Dani describes as currently the most up to date technology available. Dani was keen to emphasise his service is reliable and the customer service impeccable.
The AXARFUSION office is beneath the Eroski supermarket on the La Rampa, the steep hill up to the la Plaza Almijara in Competa. There is a car park outside the office and Dani welcomes you to drop by if you would like to discuss your internet, telephone or television requirements. The office is open Mon to Fri 10.00am to 2.00pm and 4.00pm to 7.30pm and Sat 10.00am to 2.00pm. There is always someone in the office to help with your questions. And for out of office hours a tecnitian can be contacted via email or telephone. As he is “a local” and knows many people in the area he is especially keen to ensure his service has no or very little down time and if there is a problem with the connection he will endeavour to resume the service as quickly as possible.
Dani is very well known in the area and the business has grown quickly just by word of mouth. He and his colleague in the office both speak Spanish and English, so both the local Spanish residents and expats alike can benefit. AXARFUSION offer a wide range of services from home internet to business internet solutions and also mobile and landline telephone contracts that include international calls. It really does seem that Dani has all your internet, telephone and TV needs covered!
