Just though I'd raise the old chestnut of phone and internet charges in case we have any improvements from anywhere.

I am currently paying €65 a month for 6Mb connection and landline rental from Movistar (Telefonica)

I met a guy on the golf course who says he got a great deal through a "u-switch" type company based in Estepona.

I know it's been done to death on this forum in the past about the reliability versus costs of different companies, but this guy has been on the coast for 20 years so he is pretty savi about things and the deal sounded pretty good to me.

Anyone got any up to date knowledge of this?

I had telefonica and was consistenly unhappy with it.
I switched and got another provider which i was moderatly happy with.

Cheaper and slighlty faster.

But

As soon as i moved it was telefonica and the third party fighting over who shoudl deal with it.
Each were passing me from one to the other and in the end i just ended up with with a random 200 euro payment taken out of my account.

Telefonica is not great but they give you phone and internet so if you have a problem you deal with telefonica.
If you add a third party into the equasion you have 2 people to contact if there is a problem and each will deny everything.

I now have telefonica 1.5 meg and they are charging me through the nose for it because they put in a different line due to connection problems.

I am unhappy but not that unhappy that i will go with a third party and open myself up to dealing with 2 companys that deny all responsibilty rather than jsut the one i can shout at.

If that makes sense
