Net Connection
A couple of years ago, it was dial up, which gave me about 9k!!
Then they started rooftop "squariels" which picked up from a transmitter, 39 Euros + Vat per month for 256Kb. (.25 Mb)
Now they have improved our landline, so we have standard Telefonica (state telephone service) at 8mb, uncapped, 39 Euros + Vat per month.
In a country where the average wage is about 900 Euros per month, that is a scandalous price, but if you try to change to another supplier, you are usually without service for weeks. Then, if there is a problem, you are ping-ponged between the ISP and phone company.
Dealing with any large company in Spain is a nightmare... "customer service" just doesn't seem to translate into Spanish. You always have to have a Plan B (and C and D sometimes)
As to the view from the office "window", I will get one uploaded.
