If you live in #Spain, especially those living off grid or in remote areas, I can't recommend #masmovil highly enough.
50GB of data at €10/month IVA incluida and rock solid 4G, using the phone as a wifi hotspot, VPN on... Getting set up online with a work computer is now a non-issue. Only have to deal with one company that seems to be really on the ball, no infrastructure.
I expect I sound like "Welcome to the 21st century" but it was no fun when we were dependent on local wifi providers with a monopoly and a couldn't care less attitude. And mainstream phone companies are still taking the piss with prices and tariffs, and not able to provide a reliable service out in the sticks. It's not unusual for friends to have their phone one end of the house and answer it having run outside to get coverage. And that's the lucky ones.
I don't know if it still applies but when I first came to Spain there was a mandate that internet companies had to connect everyone who wanted it. From fibre optic running through a village of 80 people, to worst case satellite at 2000m up in a valley.
I guess the next stage is a mesh setup, in case everything is captured?
