Could someone advise me as to the best broadand provider in Spain,. I am living in Madrid and looking for something fast and cheap, preferably with short term contracts but it's not a necessity. I would prefer advice from experience but would like to here anything people have to offer.

ONO's currently running like a dream for me, really fast 25Megas+. Had to pay the installation costs up front (about �120) for its internet and cable TV, but then there's no minimum contract, and you can get rid of it whenever you want.

We've got Ya.com - 20 euros a month for 1mb (real speed, they claim 10) downloads, plus free calls to Spanish landlines. Took 1 month to install, which is usual for any company that's not Telefonica (who spookily take one month to install their competitors services).

If you're in a hurry, I got a really good deal on a HSDPA dongle for my computer from Carrefour: 30 euros with 5 euros credit (pay-as-you-go), one day's connection costs 1.20, for up to 1 meg downloads (so normal surfing only, no videos or movies). You can get top-ups in Dia supermarkets. It did the job for me when I was on holiday this summer and needed to do a bit of work from home.

In my opinion, the best ISP is going to be Telefonica. I went with ya.com and another smaller provider (I forget the name) for about 6 months and both were like being on dial-up circa 1997.
