Did you know?

Those of you who are with Telefónica for both phone line and ADSL (broadband Internet) i.e. the Duo package can enjoy a free upgrade of your speed from 3Mb to 10Mb for 3 months. After December it will cost you an extra 4€ per month for the extra speed.

Bear in mind though that, with protocol overheads etc. this will give you an effective download speed of about 8.5Mb. Still that is a lot faster than the 2.8Mb you get with the 3Mb package

You need to go online to http://www.telefonicaonline.com, enter your username and password to get into your private area to order the upgrade.

Some web forums mention the possibility of upgrading from 3 to 6Mb but that no longer seems to be an option.

PS the quoted speeds are megabits per second not megabytes (there are 8 bits in one byte). So in theory on a 10Mb connection you could expect to download a one megabyte file in less than one second. In practice of course this will rarely happen. However you would see a significant improvement from a slower connection.
