A question for some Madrid internet aficionado. If a person, in Madrid central, were to order an ADSL line from the phone company, for installation in a typical high rise residence. How long would it take from "order to operational"? Ball park guess. Also who would you choose for a service provider?

Hey Arn, this depends on what company the person uses. I used Terra ( www.terra.es ) which is basically Telef�nica and got mine a year ago, it took them under 10 days to put it in Big Grin

I have seen ads lately in newspapers and on TV for Telef�nica ADSL. They now guaranty that you will have it within 10 days. Used to take between 1 and 12 months and they would never tell you how long. I got VERY lucky by having it installed fast but I have freinds that waited over 9 months Eeker

You can also do it pretty reliably with:

Jazztel: www.jazztel.com
Retevisi�n: www.retevision.com

...but I am not sure of the wait time for installation.

I know the member "Max" just got ADSL, maybe he will pop in and share his experience.

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. nice joke on that...
