Re: Movistar/O2
I have one ( as part of O2 Fusion rural package).
it is limited to a max of 20 meg down and has a measly 700k up. Unlimited.Router isnt user DNS customable. We are not tied into a contract so next month , I am going to “ upgrade” for less money and still no contract. I want to see if it performs better and if the New provided router is dns customable. I still like the Hispasat satellite internet at 35 euros a month , free install. Huge ping. Currently 100 meg but next month being upgraded free to 200 meg. Streams tv . No contract and router gives greatwifi signal and is DNS configurable

Re: Movistar/O2
I'm not saying they had access to your password(s) but that people's home routers were somehow used as hotspots, so the software in them allowed the operator to make them available to all of their customers as a completely different wifi network, separate from your own (albeit using your home router!).
You would have to download the app though - FREE at least, do not know about BT..

Re: Movistar/O2
Getting back on thread - I was prevented from switching from Movistar to O2 because their website told me that I did not have coverage despite having Movistar Fibre Optic installed for over 2 years!
Then a miracle - my new neighbour ordered O2 by using a house number a few houses up the road (The O2 computer did not recognise our house numbers) the O2 engineer arrived (no FO cable installed there) and advised me to use number 32 in the application and not my 24B house number and voila - I ordered via the O2 website, very efficient, within a few minutes received a friendly Whatsapp from O2 and I was switched over this morning in under 24 hours. No change of router or numbers and no engineer visit to my house needed.
Opted for the 500MB service,landline (obligatory) and one mobile for 38€ a month (inc IVA) net saving 264€ p.a.
Very happy - thanks Fred for getting me to look at this again.
