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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
