I work from home and the internet is my business so I myself have a 10MB "professional" line with telefonica (€150 per month) and have honestly never had any serious problems with it. However I live right in the centre of Marbella and the exchange is just around the corner.

There is a little known (positive) thing about telefonica adsl though, you can pay an extra €10 per month for a support package and its a guarantee that if you have a problem, it will be resolved within 6 hours. A couple of times I have screwed things up on my firewall and lost my connection and have called them up and within an hour there has been a telefonica guy at my door, so I have been impressed with that.

Do not touch YA! They are awful!. Awful support and basically have no idea about anything.

I also have a 3G Vodafone Linksys router in case telefonica goes down but have not really had to use it in that situation yet. The linksys router basically takes in a mobile vodafone card with an extra sim that I have and I can actually take the router anywhere I want and set up my own little wireless network. Brilliant when I go to my in laws house in the country where they dont have internet!

If you want to talk to someone that knows loads about ADSL, call Joey on Tel: +34 646 353 935.

He can give you the best advice on the range of options available and how to get the most out of your router.
