I don’t know if this will help you. We took possession of our apartment 10days ago and one of the first things we did was get internet (only). We have fiber. We looked at different providers. There wasn’t so much difference in price. Most do on off tariff but depending on how long you’re here we signed for a regular use tariff which you can switch off for 3 calendar months. Some like no limits have a smart meter which only charges you when you use it. Tv horadada took 2 weeks to connect and there was a very unhappy lady at the counter when we went. No limits and Ole who we used will connect you the same day. We were up and running 5 hours after visiting their office!

Hi  re car hire in Spain.  Have a look at a site called  Do You Spain.  It covers all car hire companies.  We use them regularly.  We have just booked a decent car from Gold Cars through them for family member coming out for a week in October.  Total cost of hire car for the week was around €5, yes you read it right.  There is an admin charge of around €30 which is common. Fuel also but with a lot of companies whatever is left in the tank on return is refunded.  Gold Cars do this.    We do not use their insurance, we use one recommended by Martin Lewis on his money show, "Car hire excess".  For the week it cost £17.99.  We take the yearly one for around £35.00. Gold cars will offer you it for a lot more than that!   But as we don't use theirs  they will block £1000 on a credit card.  This is only taken if you have an accident.  You would then claim amount back from Car Hire Excess.  I hope you understand all of this.  Anyway have a look on Do You Spain and see what you think.   All cars are pretty new too.  Other on the site we have used is Firefly (part of Hertz).  A few are located just outside the airport whereas Gold Cars and Firefly have desks at the airport.  These are the 2 we use.  Great Service.
