Presumably you use 4G band which is overecrowded in most urban areas. A 5G router/modem is still expensive (200,-) but most probably solves the problem.

I found the phone service with orange very sketchy in Santa Pola.  I would have to leave my apartment to place a call !

I have an apartment in Santa Pola and for a time used Telecable. It was ok but not brilliant.

I switched to using a mifi device on an unlimited orange sim card. The speed was better than Telecable. I can stream tv plus use multi devices at the same time.

I was pleasantly suprised. The staff at the irange shop in glorietta were very helpful and will advise you on your options.

Hope this helps

Steve

Where in SP ? We r on the levante / Bernabéu end and orange was a disaster … phone signal … wifi … Telecable for us has been great service wise . The speed has been excellent as my husband needs to run a fast reliable speed to work for an Aus based company
