        "It can't even provide a decent mobile conections in the UK."
        Vodafone seems to provide a workable service in Spain. OK so they spam message you every day, and phone you to try to sell you things, but at least the service works.

        Last week Jazztel, one of their competitors, dropped their entire mobile voice service for 12 hours and mobile data for 20. Also orange keep pestering me to move landline/mobile to them, but their mobile service doesn't cover where I live, and their landline service would be voice only; no ADSL were I am. For me at least, Vodafone is the best option.
