The news that Adamo, an FTTH operator of Swedish origin, present in Spain for the last few years is planning as of next week to provide high speed connections (100Mbps downloads) in the city of Barcelona has been all over Spanish fora.
Currently, the company offers 100Mbps connections in the principality of Asturias since 2007. Adamo has planned a country-wide expansion and will evaluate its businesses in Barcelona to adjust accordingly its expansion strategy.
The connections (100Mbps/20Mbps) are going to be priced at 29 euros, a little higher than what the rest of Europe is paying for ADSL2+ (24Mbps nominal speed). The service is going to be complemented by a 5-port router. Telefonica offers double play with internet connections at 6Mbps for 25,90/month.
