Hi Guys and (girls of course) Whats the internet connection like in spain? is it broadband or dial up? and does anyone know what it cost?

Hello

Internet on either, Telefonica broadband / telephone will cost you abt €70 a month

Re: Internet access
 

Does this include both the telephone & internet costs as it is rather expensive if it's just for the internet? Is there a cheaper way to connect to the internet?

ALL THE INFORMATION YOU REQUIRE IS IN FREE BEER AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE

Thanks Posh will have a look :D

Re: Internet access
 

Is that the cost for both? thanks

Re: Internet access
 

Here is telefonica's web site......

If you also do a search on this forum you will see there are plenty of views on what is best and what is not.

Re: Internet access
 

ok thanks :D

Re: Internet access
 

It's what we pay for both.

Re: Internet access
 

telefonica has this offer on at the moment.
dúo 1Mb ADSL + llamadas nacionales Alta de ADSL GRATIS
2 mes GRATIS
Cuota final: 29,90 €/mes

So 1 mb adsl and all phone calls in Spain, conection free. first 2 months free. Doubt it includes a router. It would be plus iva ie about €33 a month:thumbup:

Re: Internet access
 

Does that include the line rental? Many people are paying Telefonica up to 70€/month for both.

I changed to Ya.com last year. I still pay 21.75€/month to Telefonica for line rental and 40.42€/month to Ya for ADSL/free national calls. Prices inc. IVA.

Re: Internet access
 

No, the line rental is on top of the ADSL charges. 70€ a month is about right.

Re: Internet access
 

There are some deals all in, I see some in Cities with TV ADSL and Phone for 30€, ono (cable).

On a second point, some of the free routers given away are absolute cack, I sell quite a few laptops now in spain to ex pats and the spanish and Im starting to get a few moaners like I do with the people in the Uk with the talk talk and orange routers - that there is some problems reception wise,

Ive overcome this by changing the WIFI Cards on all export laptops, but I would advise to buy your own router seperate, they are not expensive and will have better performance.

Any router that has its own ariel to screw in / unscrew to update range etc is a good start

Re: Internet access
 

It's not easy to understand as the one about internet (telefonica) is not in English. Don't they have an English version in their site?

Also some of the link in the FREE BEER, is not working like "British Embassy NIE aplication" - that link gives a "404 NOT FOUND" error.

Re: Internet access
 

Sorry, but I have no control over the British Embassy site, I can`t even find it so it looks like they may of discontinued it, I will remove it til I find it again if it is available.
