Their best value for money plan is the “Movistar Fusión“. The offer a number of packages. In our opinion, the best is Fusión 2.

If you don’t have a NIE

For stays longer than six months

For expats in Madrid that don’t have a NIE, we recommend Ono, a Vodafone subsidiary. We like them because you can tailor a package to suit your needs. You can choose fibre optic speeds of 50 MB, 120 MB, 300 MB and 1 GB. If you want to add mobile, you have packages with three different data options, all with unlimited calls. Finally, you can add Vodafone TV which has more than 120 channels. The cheapest package starts at 12.85 € per month, plus an 18.15 € line rental fee.

The fibre is the fastest offered in Madrid. The drawback if you can’t purchase the products online- you must call them. If you ask to speak to an assistant who understands English, you should be put through to someone.

For stays shorter than six months

For expats staying less than six months, we recommend Amena for fibre optic in Madrid. Outside of Madrid your choices may be restricted in terms of service providers and speed. If you still want high speed internet without compromise, Amena will give you access to 4G internet at home, which will normally average 40Mb
