Hi,
You MUST be jocking, WIFI in Spain!!!!!, ... HA
... I travel around all the time in Spain and
it is very very hard to find wifi setups (which
work); take for instance Malaga airport, one would
expect having wifi in the airport right,  , WRONG!,
no wifi for public usage... and this is so
in a lot of airports around Spain...
I bought myself a loptop wifi incorporated but was
unable to use it in most of the places, and
the places where I could use it, they charges so
much money that it was not worth it ....
So, I switched again over to dialup and GPRS
when I am travelling in Spain and limit my use
just to download and send emails, all other
internet stuff I do when I have broadband.
I use providers like gonuts4free tiscali.es
and spansurf which are more than sufficient in
order to send/receive when I am on the road.
The problem is I think is that these companies
like Telefonica etc who control wifi mean good but
the technology is not really there... |

Same experience here last week ( 10/06) - very
patchy coverage.
Hotel chain SolMelia are first rate. The Parador
hotel chain is OK, but dear, and only if you
have a Windows box - my Linux laptop wouldn't
work.
The big disappointment was Fon - which is an
excellent sharing network originating from Spain. I've
signed up for it, but outside the cities takeup
seems very poor, and in the region I was in,
only one ap existed in a 20 sq mile area -
and on the day I needed it that wasn't
working!
So, best if you can just survive with the free
internet access at Spanish public libraries!!
Cheers
Mel |
