Hello
I'm a foreign student in Madrid and I'll be renting an apartment until the end of May (2012) WITHOUT internet.
I did the same thing last year, and I had the pleasure (please note my sarcasm) of dealing with the extremely rude and useless people of not just Movistar, but Vodafone, ONO and Orange as well (I'm sure there are some nice people out there, I just unfortunately didn't get to talk with them).
In the end I was not able to get WiFi for my apartment because I didn't want to get a contract for a full year-meaning I would have had to pay for 4 or 5 months that I would not be using.
Long story short: I ended up getting a USB WiFi device that cost me 50 euros a month with Vodafone, it was very flaky and barely worked, Vodafone overcharged me and never paid me back over 70 euros....
And now I am wondering what to do about having internet, starting at the end of this month/beginning of September.
If anyone has any suggestions, or if anyone has a
solution, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you all in advance!!
Marisa
