I’m on Simyo. I have 2 gb a month and never used anywhere near that. WiFi at home and free WiFi hotspots in most bars and restaurants. I do all the banking, emails surfing etc. I only play game like cards and candy, so no video games.

It depends on whether you will have WiFi at home, and what you’ll be doing when not on WiFi.  Anything with photos / video will eat up GB pretty quickly, so if your not on WiFi and are watching YouTube / Facebook, 2GB is going to vanish pretty quickly.

If however you are on WiFi most of the time, then your 2GB will last the month happily.

Thank you. Will be living permanently at Los Lobos. Have been told Instelnet seems to be the best option but seems quite expensive.

Thought about Lobster as an alternative

For regular internet, unless you get a REALLY good data plan, mobile only is likely to be quite expensive.

You CAN get some good 4G WiFi + mobile plans - have a look at both Movistar and DigiMobil.  DigiMobil have the advantage of being carried by Movistar and offering dedicated service in English

Thanks Dario. The link you sent seems much better value for me. Some really good packages.

I think I was with Moviestar when I was in Spain 15 years ago.

Will definitely be in touch with them as soon as I get out there
