If you live in Barcelona and the surrounding areas, you’re quite lucky when it comes to internet connections. Fiber optic is available almost everywhere with speeds up to 1000Gbps.
Most companies also offer packages that include a mobile phone sim card and contract on a monthly basis. We’re also seeing many of these companies offering contracts that allow you to change providers at any point in time.
Before, it used to be customary for a company to entice you with a good offer and tie you down for a minimum of 6 months or a year. Invariably the price would then go up so you had to make sure to set reminders to change the company once the initial discounted period is up.
Nowadays things are simpler. I would recommend two companies above all:
- Tuenti
- O2
Both companies are owned by Movistar, which has the best 4g and fiber optic network in Spain. Tuenti offers a 50Gbps symmetric fiber optic connection + 4GB data on your phone for €40, while O2 offers 300GBps + 20GB data for €50.
Tuenti’s offer is enough for most people’s needs, but if you absolutely need 300Gbps and lots of data for your smartphone, go with O2 for an extra €10 per month.
Hola Jean. I appreciate your blog very much, but I have to say my experience with Tuenti as an internet and mobile provider has been very painful. There really is no phone number to call them. You must open help requests online. They take days to reply, and in most cases the reply does not give the answer. Any further responses take more days to get back to you. It takes weeks just to solve simple issues like voicemail. I would not recommend this company myself.
