Hi all,

As I might be moving to Barcelona in the next few months I am starting to look into a few things. I would most likely be taking my work with me and working on everything remotely which requires a fairly fast connection. I'd be working with RAW files from 20-40 mpix cameras so the amount of info traveling back and forth will be quite a bit.

I've been checking on some of the internet provider's websites but figured I might also check if there are any here that know. ADSL and cable seem to be widely available but maybe there is something better? I am trying to find something that offers a good upload speed, not only a high download speed.

I've been trying to read up on neighbourhoods in Barcelona to see where I should look for apartments. There is a lot of info out there but I don't really know what is right and what is not. Any opinions on what areas of Barcelona to focus on? I'll be living off of about 3000 EUR a month so I should have a bit of a budget to play around with.

Thanks for any help...

Tobbi

Thanks Angelmb... I appreciate any info you can get. Been looking at the various websites of companies that offer internet but don't know the quality of each...

Thanks,
Tobbi

Hello tobster, I'm an angelmb friend. I live in Barcelona (province, not city), if you want we can speak about that via iChat or email, I send you a private message.
