to recap -

10mb adsl, free national calls, 550min/month to mobiles, free "spanish sky" box and installation, no monthly charges.

looks like an even better deal than before - which im actually very surprised about. :)
:thumbup: well done movistar :thumbup:

and the last bill was 107,39€.

Looks like your paying E14.70 more for the TV and the calls to mobile then .. I pay E47.30 for ADSL and free national calls.

Spanish lad,
You need to see if you can get Telefonica to bring it down more as you are still going to pay more than most

I have been arguing with Telefonica for ages about our ADSL service. We are limited to 3mb due to our location. We originally had the 500kb service which was the maximum 8 years ago. It cost us 39.90/mth. We have been upgraded like everyone else over time, but we are stuck with 3mb and are still paying the full price.

Meanwhile the general service has crept up to 10mb which they still charge 39.90 for (after the special offers have expired). They now have a standard 3mb offering of 20.20/mth inc all the free calls etc.

Spurred on by Spanish Lads success I called them this morning. We are now paying 20.20 and will also get a free WiFi router.

Success at last!

Hi

Well done Spanish Lad. My Last bill total for Internet 3MB plus calls to fixed National Lines (which I never make) with individual phone line to the house, was 52.70 Euros. This broke down to 41.90 Euros plus 2.52 Voice calls (which incidentally we never made) plus 8.03 IVA. Any advice how we can reduce the bill would be wonderful. Should be `phone telefonica do you think?
