Thank for the info on this site.

I have recently purchased pre-paid data sims from Orange, Vodafone, Movistar and Lyca while I am in Spain for a few months. I had to use my passport as id for all of them. The quality of the signal varies greatly between these networks but that is dependent on your location more than the quality of the networks I suspect. Lyca is the best deal - for 5 euro you can get 2Gb at 3.5G+ speeds but the tethering doesn't seem to work so you are possibly restricted to your smartphone for this 2Gb. Orange is 10 euro for 1Gb, Movistar a paltry 400Mb for 5 euro and Vodafone is 15 euro for 1.5Gb (so the same price as Orange). Generally, the mobile data offering from the Spanish mobile phone providers is pathetic when compared to the rest of Western Europe and looks distinctly "third world". In Italy I can get 10Gb for 19 euro with WIND for instance. Here in Spain the most I can get is 2Gb. At times like this you realise that Spain can be very backward and undeveloped.
