I am just making a public service announcement, please take note of the below, if you value your health/sanity and at all need to access the internet.

For god's sake do not sign up to a contract with Telefonica or Movistar. They are the most incompetent, unpleasant and thoroughly disagreeable company in Spain. You would be better served using two tin cans and a piece of string.

I will shortly be writing up our year's of experiences with them for a complaint to the Oficina d'Atenció al Consumidor and will past it here. But for now, please heed my advice or on your own head be it.

M.

Thank you, "The Keeper" in Basel, Switzerland (??? - see your location), for your Public Service Announcement. It's much appreciated.

I've thankfully never dealt with those guys as I've had Vodafone since "the beginning" - i.e. 7-years ago without incident. Can't wait to read your year's ordeal and just what went wrong. I'm going to GUESS you were attempting to leave-them-behind and change fijo-phone-companies. That really can be a nightmare.

We were using Ya.com for fijo+internet for years (of course the *line* is still "owned" by Telefónica) and decided to change to Jazztel. We did immediately lose our Fijo/land-line, but had a run-around with both Ya.com AND Telefónica to get the line's use granted to Jazztel - AND WE WERE WITHOUT A LANDLINE FOR LIKE 16 MONTHS!!! Luckily, somehow, they/Ya.com DID leave me with the internet connection. Whew! Small favors.

Saludos, MadridMan
