I see Starlink is now down to 40/month or 50 including the equipment. Sounds like a good deal for those living outside of fibre enabled areas.

O2 now offer the same package, without the obligatory (free) basic TV package to approx €25/mth less. I changed over yesterday and all the changes were made within 5 minutes. No change of router or phone numbers

Apples and oranges olive, sorry - hispasat gives what, upto 20mbs? With line of sight to a tower.

Star Link is 150mbs-300mbs and it can be used anywhere in the world, pointing up to the sky.

35 or 50, for 10x the speed, im sure 99% of people will agree which is better.

But that's not the point of this thread, so back to movistar and 02 :lol:

jaja. It must be a tall tower to be up in space. The clue is in the name. HispaSAT . We get between 59 to 103 mbs . Dont know why it changes but I have had to remake the connection to the router from the dish when I moved the router.

perhaps a revisit of the maths. ?

35 and no instal for quite adequate 100 mbs or 50 for the Elon Musk offering. Apples and apples.

I only posted about Hispasat to help anyone out in the campo that might be struggling with 4G internet with all its vagaries. Hey ho

Movistar and O2 are sister companies owned by Telefonica. We have been customers of Movistar for about 4 years since the day that they brought full fibre 1Gb Internet to us in the campo.

We have a landline and two mobiles plus gigabit Internet under their Fusion package. We have been very satisfied with it. However the free mobile calls are limited and the price has increased over time.

O2 now offer the same package, without the obligatory (free) basic TV package to approx €25/mth less. I changed over yesterday and all the changes were made within 5 minutes. No change of router or phone numbers - totally painless.

For anyone currently using Movistar it is definitely worth looking at.

Normally I would have thought that they would automatically adjust the price... but I take it a direct intervention is needed just to get the current price applied?

I recall in some countries that people's routers were used by the operator to form a nationwide hotspot network that their mobile subscribers could then use. Is it the same here?

I would say definitely not - the router has a 20-digit password protection. But I am not a technician...
