Signing a lease next week and will need the ADSL hooked up ASAP. I'm looking for recommendations on who to go with.
Bear in mind, though, that my number one priority is how quickly it's hooked up, with a minimum of fuss given my fairly woeful telephone Spanish skills. Happy to pay a bit more for convenience. I have NIE and bank account now.
The apartment had an existing Movistar ADSL (router is still sitting there) but the owner finally disconnected it (and the phone line, I believe) a few months ago whilst it sat vacant.
It seems that the ADSL providers offer great introductor teaser deals, but only if you are churning an existing line from a competing provider. They all seem to have similar all-in prices for brand new customers.
I figure Movistar might be the fastest to get setup, given that the ADSL port is presumably still hooked up to their DSLAM.
Recommendations? How much should i be paying all-in?
