It is common knowledge that ONO does traffic shaping or worst, blocking(they have even admitted it at some point).
I would suggest to hop over to ADSL (CATV networks have no competition in Spain hence the snobbishness)in this order-if available in your residential area:

1)Jazztel (solid service-decent prices-possibility of unbundled loop).
2)Ya.com (tend to have best deals*-possibility of unbundled loop)
3)Orange (kind a chaotic ISP but with a big backer-France Telecom-possibility of unbundled loop)
4)Telefonica (service safer of them all, but the most expensive).

*10Mb/512k+VOIP national calls+line service fee on a naked ADSL line for aprox. 33€/month (12 months only,limited and time sensitive offer-after that goes up).

FT bought Ya.com so Orange and Yacom belong the same corporation with separate structures for now.

You need to order a phone line from Telefonica (excluding Jazztel, that can place the order for you) in order to get ADSL installed by its competition (for at lest 5 months when it will be possible to order directly the copper from the ISP´s).

All the ISP´s above noted don't screw with your traffic, excluding the questionable on and off use of a traffic proxy server by Telefonica.

Beside Telefonica and Jazztel the other 2 have 1 year contract.
Good luck!

I have Ono 4 Mega cable in Gracia, Barcelona, Spain. recently it has slowed to a crawl on downloads (5 hours + to download a 300mb file as opposed to 25 mins on my neighbours Jazztel) and I believe that they are capping my downloads for reasons unknown. I do not do p2p but am a web developer so am downloading (and uploading) quite large files for clients for much of the day.

I strongly believe that Ono have some form of blacklist for capping and that somehow I am on it. I called an engineer out (after several hours on the 'helpline') and was told I would be charged 40E for the privilege if they found no problem. When the engineer came - lo! - everything was fine but since is back to being unusable. Curious.

So, as I cannot work like this I need to find other (non-Telefonica) solutions.

Thoughts so far include:

Orange ADSL.
Ya.Com
Somehow bypassing Ono's cap.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'd much appreciate it...I have a Mac so that might make a difference (Ono do not seem to ever have heard of Apple) and do not want a Telefonica phone line. Is the Orange ADSL pack any good? Will it be capped also?
