Broadband in Spain?
 

Has anybody got any ideas on good deals on broadband providers in Spain? If possible I would prefer a short contract. I do not have a fixed line either but would only need one for the BB (if any).

Telefonica

Direct Telecom

^^^ I heard good things about those 2 companies

Thanks.. though that still looks a bit pricey for me at the moment. Still, I was not aware of the €26 Telefonica offer.

Thanks again.

ADSL in Spain
 

As someone with extensive experience of ADSL in Spain may I warn you about Telefonica; this is obviously only my opinion but they are definitely not to be trusted- my phone line was not working for 3 months because their idiot engineer installed it wrong and every month my landline made ONE call to a mobile number- even though I had silence instead of a dialtone on my phone the whole time- thus allowing them to say I was using the line and therefore had to pay for it. this cost me about €200 when they should have been compensating ME for not giving me the line after I ordered it. Nice eh? Be careful.... :???:

Mind you nearly all landlines in Spain are owned by TF so even if you get your internet from another provider it is hard to avoid them. I thought I had managed it when I signed up for the WiMax service from Iberbanda, but then discovered that TF owns 51% of Iberbanda.

The truth is that Spain is crying out for a non-incompetent/non-greedy internet provider but unless people here stop putting up with their tricks it is not going to happen. I have heard bad things about all of them, even Ono which is the only one with its own infrastructure, but I hear Jazztel are particularly bad. YMMV.
