Internet Speed Test in Spain

Internet Providers in Spain

Movistar (Telefónica) is Spain's incumbent and largest ISP with the most extensive FTTH network. Orange, Vodafone, and MásMóvil (which includes Yoigo and Pepephone) are major competitors. Digi has emerged as a budget disruptor offering fiber at very low prices.

Spain's FTTH penetration rate is among the highest in Europe — Movistar's fiber network covers over 27 million premises. 600 Mbps symmetric plans are widely available; 1 Gbps plans are standard in urban areas.

ISPs at a glance

Measured speeds are wired-test ranges observed across consumer plans; actual figures depend on plan tier, address, and time of day.

Speed Test Tips

• Spain's fiber plans are typically symmetric — both upload and download should be at or near advertised speed
• Digi offers one of the cheapest gigabit fiber plans in Europe — worth considering if price is a priority
• Test at peak evening hours (9–11 PM) — Spanish prime time is later than northern Europe
• Most Spanish fiber plans include a router — test whether replacing it with your own improves Wi-Fi performance

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ISP is best in Spain?

Movistar has the most reliable network. Digi offers the best price-to-speed value. Orange and Vodafone are competitive in urban areas.

Telefónica invested heavily in FTTH from 2011 onward, and competitors deployed on Movistar's infrastructure via wholesale access. The result is near-universal urban fiber at competitive prices.
