Yes they are having problems. It is in part due to the failure of a complex router last november (remember the Blackberry outages!). This isn't an off the shelf bit of kit and although it was ordered back in november it has only just (today I was told) arrived.  The router that has been in use to date hasn't got enough capacity and so the whole of the network is suffering from saturation at peak times. Lately it seems to be suffering much more than at the beginning - I've no idea why.  Someone putting a 1Kw transmitter in close proximity to the Eurona aerial has just compounded the problem on the Tortosa side of CollRedo.  For those people particularly affected by this interference Eurona are migrating them onto a new system that was put into service on 28th December - this has already started but this doesn't remove the problem of the saturation.

I have been told the work to replace the broken router and upgrade the network is starting tomorrow and will take about 2 weeks.  The whole network is being upgraded from Barcelona all the way down through Tarragona and Tortosa.

What impact this will have during the upgrade I don't know. I would guess it will mean some short outages while things are switched over. If I know anything I'll post it here.
