Speed test
I just used to do Speedtest, but now you can also do a pingtest which sort of tells you how crap Telefonicas service is. 
Is anyone else on a different IP that can do the tests so I can compare. tia

Re: Speed test
We officially have 6Mb at home from Telefonica, but it´s worse than the 3Mb we had before. Very irritating, I feel like I´m working on a ZX Spectrum. What would you recommend? Change provider?

Re: Speed test
I have always used :- http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Using Chicago as the location
No ping test
With a 6mb Televeryexpensivefonica connection I regularly achieved 5mb
However I have now changed to Vodafone and am still awaiting the full connection, at present using the 3G dongle rated at 3mb I get very varying speeds 2.5 to less than 1 mb

Re: Speed test
The thing is as well that at the moment I´m paying about € 20 for the current connection, where a dongle will set me back € 40 per month......
Did you know that Ayamonte is know as "the arse of Spain" ? We´re definetely at the back end!

Re: Speed test
Sometimes I am on the PT server too, and get about the same as Madrid.
I don`t know why the tinternet is so crap in Spain, every other country seems so much faster for a lot less money.
Got a B off Lisbon and Madrid this time. lol

Re: Speed test
It can be used away from home at a cost of €2.90 + iva /day. I will take it with me when traveling for use in areas that have no free wifi or hotels that charge more than €2.90 for wifi

I am told that the full service will be available from the 15th April
