Spain introduces ADSL 2+

It seems since that since my previous post on the broadband race , Pedro's donkey has had a comparative nitro boost with Jazztel and Wanadoo offering a new, much faster technology called ADSL 2+ . Quoted as ''upto 20Mbps'' Jazztel is offering it currently at 30 Euros (20 quid ) and Wanadoo at 20 euros (13.5 quid ) a month (on offer till end Jan 2006) . A lot depends on where you are in Spain and your proximity to the exchange. Jazztel has pumped 24 million Euros into attempting to cover 88% of Madrid's population with 3 million lines. This can only spring hope for the future for us in the boonies of Andalucia where the only current solution is a choppy 2Mb satellite connection at an absurd 180 Euros (122 quid ! ) a month. Needless to say that there is no mention of ADSL 2+ on Spain's biggest ISP Telefonica's website and trying to find their ADSL prices is a convoluted messy process.
