As nobody seems to know anything about internet access in this day and age I am posting this here:

I went and got a 3G UMTS card for my laptop from Movistar Telefonica shop in Tarragona. Cost nothing but there is a plana tarifa and I am on 5 GB per month which costs Euros 58. That give you approx. 400 hours of surfing of 14,000 pages to browse which is plenty. As I am a professional using the internet heavily I am on this plan but there is another one available costing Euros 32 per month.

The card is a PCMIA card which slots into the PCI port in your laptop. You install the software and Telefonica will upgrade you to UMTS (which is 384 kbps which is almost ADSL speed) after 15 hours of signing their contract.

It is brilliant and exactly what I was looking for. No need for a landline and much cheaper than the ADSL contract from Telefonicaq which costs around Euros 80 per month if you rent their landline and telephone too.

The bauty of the system I am using is that I can go on the internet anywhere. At the beach, in the car whilst being a passenger, at home, at business meetings....
