Hello,
Does anyone here know of an unlimited sim card using the 4g-lte network ?
There is no fiber optic cable and probably unlikely to be , as the Albaicin area of Granada seems to be protected by local government.
The sad upload speed is very bad and can not stream on 1MB .
Tried Vodafone but have a 50gb cap. Vodafone has an excellent signal compared to Movistar.
Help please and Thanks.

Hello missile,
Yes, 4g signal received from Vodafone and Movistar .
Movistar has a poor 4g signal and is more in a strong 3g .
Vodafone on the other hand is excellent, speeds of up to
68 Mbps.

The mean speed is between 40 and 50 Mbps.
Upload speeds 15 to 20 Mbps.
There is a company called Spunky.com which has ( unlimited ) data but to my regret uses Movistar instead of Vodafone.
TelefonÃÂa móvil con datos ilimitados (◑‿◑)
Econet.com is another company which does use Vodafone but is expensive at 50 euros/month.

I would have been prepared to pay the 30 euros for the 4g sim offered by Spunky.com but Econet offering the same unlimited data for 50 euros is not cost effective , even with those excellent speeds.
Paying between 50 and 60 euros / month with Movistar adsl - which is too much and looking for some sort of balance.
The upside of Econet is the ( no permanencia ) whilst Spunky has a 12 month contract ( without mobile phone , 24 months with ).
Holding out just a bit longer for Vodafone to introduce unlimited.

Don't hold your breath. Vodaphone had originally offered unlimited, but like others, they no longer do so. The assumption is that 50gb/mth is adequate for most uses.
Since you seem to be in the Granada area, have a look at http://www.radiofibra.net/
It's a WiMax system. I get up to 45mb/s and it is unlimited. I also get a VOIP phone connection.

Thanks for the information though.

Why do you need that sort of speed?

Isn't it amazing that on a forum of this size no one appears to be using 4G unlimited for internet.
If anyone is I would be interested in their experiences particulary around the four work rush hours when I found 3G was diababolical.

Not really considering how expensive it is - if you can find anyone offering it and those that did offer it appear to be imposing caps now.
Also, why would you need 4G speeds for normal use?

4G speeds would be ideal but the problem is the cap.

If you only need 6mb for HD TV what would be the point of 4G? A decent WiFi provider should be able to give what you need and with no cap.
As for 4G unlimited offers, read the small print - they often include a "fair usage" clause - that's just legalese for a cap.
