In the Alicante area in Spain for instance it is €12 for 24 hours. However, for English viewers BT broadband option 3 provides a 500 minute ticket for £27.50 which seems more reasonable. It's also free of "throttling" here as far as I can tell with bit torrent download speeds of up to 350 KB/sec all day. |

Of course if there is a BT Openzone near enough (unlikely) it's free for BT option 3 folks. The only time we have found one is in the British Airways lounge at Gatwick. |
