Re: freesurfspain.com / freenetspain.com - anyone used them?

it looks a bit dodgy to me- especially if the price of installation rises when you actually speak to them. Also it is only in the Costa del Sol area so I assume you are there.

The speed would not be 54mbps - that would be the speed your computer connects to a wireless router within your house, not to the external internet- that would most likely be 1mbps or 512kps. If you are connecting to a free hotspot why do you have to pay a monthly charge? or do you? Also a free hotspot will likely not allow downloading music or films should you wish to do so...

Try www.iberbanda.com - I use them and am pretty satisfied with it.

Thansk for the reply,

Exactly what I thought when he quoted the speed at 54Mb!! and this is from the "expert" field agent. He was probably selling air-con and sat tv a month ago!

Iberbanda is available in my area. Do they restrict you in any way - download speed, P2P, skype, Limewire, MSN, etc etc?

The company I am with, RIOSAT, are quite good, but I keep getting my d/l throttled.
Well at least I think I do, unless my machine needs a tweak. I have ran tweak guide here, and increases the number of half-open connection (using Win XP patch from dvllord).
Last week I was getting d/l of around 1.5Mb - really quick, but now im struggling to get above 256Kb.
Maybe I should post in WISP forum for tweak advice.

Anyway - many thanks for the reply
