We use Next in Turre https://www.nextcomunicaciones.com/copia-de-nosotros

Been with them a few years now and no issues with reliability. Busy times like football matches you can suffer slightly. Took a week to install from order

Try Albox Online.  Good speeds (for Spain) and competitive price. Have had good service for three years now. They can include a phone package too, if you want. Timescale for installation is pretty quick!

Hi, can you expand on the speed please, I get an average of 10-12mbps download and upload (which I’m more interested in) is 1.5 mbps. Thanks

The company says up to 30mbps download, but in practice I am getting an average of around 25mbps.  I get upload speeds of between 1.75 and 1.9mbps. Hope this helps.

Thank you Steve, that is helpful. Today I made enquiries with albox and they stated they could improve on the download but any improvement on the upload speed would be marginal so your averages pretty much back up their claims. I think I will take a punt, I’ve since read rumours that Next are in trouble and although I never follow the sheep, I have emailed Next four times lately which they’ve ignored? Most unlike Next.

Hi Steve, we are now with Albox, in fact I’m on here posting this message having been connected only 2hrs ago. Something has gone so wrong at Next as they haven’t replied to 4 emails requesting they test our speed and repair so I booked an installation with Albox. Over the past 5 days leading up to the change over, Next’s service dropped out at 8pm each evening. 
We were delighted to learn that Albox’s repeater is located on a ridge above our property so we are receiving speeds we could only dream of before.

So thanks again Steve for coming on this forum and replying else we would never have tried Albox-on-line

Hola! Sounds like the repeater is the same one that we get our internet from, although we are probably a bit further away (up on 'The Ridge') and our speeds are may be a bit slower than yours. Enjoy the football tonight!
