Provider comparison for internationals

The best internet providers in Spain, compared in English

There's no single 'best' provider - the right one depends on your exact address, your documents, and whether you need English support. Here's an honest comparison, plus the best pick for each situation.

Side-by-side comparison

Prices change too often to publish responsibly here, so we use three broad tiers: budget, mid and premium.

How to choose

Choose in this order, not by a headline price or a fake national winner.

  1. 1

    Can they install at your exact address? Check coverage first - it varies street to street.

  2. 2

    Do you have a Spanish ID number (NIE) and a Spanish bank account? Without them, some providers are much easier than others.

  3. 3

    Do you need help in English? Vodafone and Orange are the strongest here.

  4. 4

    Do you need to reach your home network from outside (security cameras, remote access)? DIGI shares one address by default (changeable for a small fee).

  5. 5

    Is it a second home or a rural address? Coverage and the best option can change a lot.
