If you have Movistar Fibre optic in the area, then look at Digimobil. They are carried by Movistar but have excellent pricing with no hidden raises after 3/6 months (Movistars normal trick)  - 1GB/s for 30€ per month.

I have Digi for both home and business and am very happy to recommend them

Ah … so restricted to satellite / WiFi then?

OK.  Orange do a WiFi service which I think is carried by Vodaphone - I’ve also spotted this one which offers unlimited GB 4G : https://www.somos4g.com/somos-ilimitada_p9448663.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwos-HBhB3EiwAe4xM9wW8VwHaagAANJ9cbZ45jtN44w_ebsg30cv12Med4RcVueHETCczDhoCvXAQAvD_BwE

Hello,

All the compaanies are the same and will sell TV as a separate item because you have to protect the service bandwith (not the speed) the amount of information that travels per second) in order to keep your tv supplied. We get seduced by speeds and you can buy 300Mb speed but it is no good if there is a local bottleneck or time when everyone wants to use it. No company provides a minimum speed.

It is also important to understand that your usage of the internet is a shared party line, everyone on the internet is using the same cables as each other. It is a bit like everyone has a car and you can do more than the speed limit but if everyone goes on the road at the same time you become a car park - motionless? In other words when you buy TV you buy your own lane of use that will have a protected amount of info per second etc?

Hope it helps
