Telephone Communications
Generally speaking the Spanish telephone system provided
by Telefonica is very good and continually improving. As in
the UK with BT being the main provider new companies are also
coming into the market offering similar services often with
lower tariffs.
When you move to Spain you will probably require a land-line
to be installed by Telefonica. Currently connection times
in urban areas are very good, you can expect to be installed
within two or three days, but be prepared for a very long
wait if you are in a rural area. Broad band and ISDN internet
connections are also available in most of the popular coastal
towns inland however, these services may not always be possible.
The government ended the Telefonica monopoly in 1998 and
there are now six companies supplying telephone services.
Telefonica have many English speaking staff and you can usually
get adequate assistance by dialing 1004.
