The Short Answer
Fibre is available to 95.7% of households in Málaga province (June 2025). As of 29 September 2026, headline fibre prices run from €19.90 to €35 a month, or from €10 at Digi where it has its own network, and many of them are 12-month offers. Four steps get you connected:
- Check your exact address on two or three provider websites. Digi’s cheapest prices apply only where it runs its own fibre.
- Compare the price after the offer and the minimum period. Orange’s fibre of up to 1 Gb with TV costs €35 a month for 12 months, then €49, for new connections ordered by 4 October 2026. Of the tariffs compared here, only Movistar’s, O2’s and Pepephone’s fibre has no permanencia — minimum contract period.
- Have your documents and a euro bank account ready: the identity and residence documents your provider asks for, which differ between providers, and an IBAN for the direct debit.
- Book the installation. Most providers publish lead times between 24 hours and about two weeks; Pepephone states a 30-day maximum.

Key Takeaways
- Digi advertises fibre with no permanencia, but its own FAQ sets a 3-month minimum on the fibre. Lowi sets 3 months on the fibre in its packs and 12 months on fibre-only tariffs (confirmed September 2026).
- Of the tariffs compared, Digi’s is the cheapest where its own network reaches: €10 a month for 500 Mbps, against €25 for 300 Mbps elsewhere (confirmed September 2026).
- Leaving inside a minimum period can cost you: €150 at Lowi and €242 at Orange or MásMóvil, for example (confirmed September 2026).
- Four operators hold 94.4% of fixed broadband lines: Movistar, Vodafone, MasOrange and Digi (CNMC, July 2026 data). Orange and MásMóvil have been one company since 2024.
- A consumer telecoms contract can be signed for at most 24 months, and you can cancel at any time with 2 working days’ notice, paying any early-exit charge that applies (Ley 11/2022 and Real Decreto 899/2009).

Who sells fibre in Spain
Four operators hold 94.4% of Spain’s fixed broadband lines, according to July 2026 data from the CNMC — Spain’s markets and competition regulator. Every brand in this guide belongs to one of them:
- Telefónica: Movistar and its second brand, O2, both on Telefónica’s fibre network.
- Vodafone España, owned by Zegona since May 2024: Vodafone, and Lowi, which sells on Vodafone’s fibre coverage.
- MasOrange, formed from Orange and MásMóvil in 2024 and fully owned by Orange since June 2026: Orange, Yoigo, Jazztel, MásMóvil, Pepephone, Simyo, Lebara and other brands. Simyo sells on Orange’s fibre network.
- Digi: its own fibre network in some areas, which it sells as Fibra SMART. Elsewhere a Movistar technician may need to visit first to install the fibre connection point.

Fibre and mobile packs as of 29 September 2026
Selected fibre-plus-mobile packs from each brand’s pack page. Combining separate tariffs can cost less, as the Digi note below the table shows:

| Orange | €50 | 600 Mb fibre, one line with 60 GB and unlimited calls, and a second line at no extra cost; €242 installation charge if you leave within 3 months, and a 12-month minimum if you take a discount or promotion |
| Movistar | €53 | 600 Mb fibre, 2 lines with 60 GB and 5 GB, and TV; no minimum period |
Digi’s mobile lines have no minimum period and cost less with Digi fibre: a 5 GB line is €2 a month instead of €3, and a 50 GB line €5 instead of €7. Digi’s €10 fibre with the €2 line comes to €12 a month.
Minimum periods and early-exit charges
Of the tariffs compared, only Movistar’s, O2’s and Pepephone’s fibre has no permanencia. The others set a minimum period, usually by charging for the installation if you leave early:
- 3 months: Digi (up to €100), Yoigo (€200 plus tax), MásMóvil (€242), Simyo’s fibre-only tariffs (€240, reduced pro rata), Orange’s fibre-and-mobile pack (€242) and the fibre in Lowi’s fibre-and-mobile packs (up to €150, reduced pro rata).
- 12 months: Orange’s fibre-only tariffs (€242), Vodafone (a pro-rata charge) and Lowi’s fibre-only tariffs (€150). Orange also sets 12 months on a pack taken with a discount or promotion.
Digi advertises fibre with no minimum period, but its own FAQ sets 3 months on the fibre. Lowi’s fibre-and-mobile pages say sin permanencia, which applies to the mobile line; the fibre carries 3 months. Simyo’s fibre-and-mobile page gives both 3 and 12 months, so check the terms of the offer you pick.
What the law guarantees
- A consumer telecoms contract can be signed for at most 24 months. It then renews automatically, and from that point you can leave at any time on up to one month’s notice, paying only for the service provided during that notice (Ley 11/2022, article 67.7).
- You can cancel at any time by giving at least 2 working days’ notice (Real Decreto 899/2009, article 7). The ministry’s telecoms user office says the operator must process the cancellation within 2 days and accept it through the same channel you used to sign up.
- If the provider announces a change to your contract terms, you can leave at no extra cost within one month of the notice, unless the change only benefits you, is purely administrative and has no negative effect on you, or is required by law. The provider must give at least one month’s notice of the change (Ley 11/2022, article 67.8).
- When you switch, your number must be ported within 1 working day of the agreed date, and any loss of internet service during the switch may not exceed 1 working day (Ley 11/2022, article 70).
Cancelling during a permanencia is still possible; the provider may then apply its early-exit charge.
What speed you need
On the tariff pages checked, the slowest fibre on sale is 300 Mb. Moving from 300 Mb to 1 Gb adds €8 a month at Lowi and O2, and €10 at Movistar during its 12-month offer (as of 29 September 2026).
Check the upload speed as well as the download. Vodafone’s upload depends on the connection at your address: 60 or 600 Mbps on its 600 Mb tariff, and 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps on its 1 Gb tariff. If you need to reach a server or camera at home from outside, note that Digi uses CG-NAT, which shares one public IP address between several customers.
How to get connected
What you need
- ID: each provider sets its own rules, so check its document list before you sign up. Orange asks EU citizens for a residence card or passport plus the green EU registration certificate, and other nationals, including British and American residents, for a passport and residence card. Orange sells contracts only to residents of Spain. Vodafone can ask for a photo of your NIF, NIE or passport, and for extra documents or a deposit; if you give only a passport, it asks for official Spanish proof that you are not resident in Spain.
- A bank account for the direct debit: EU rules bar a company from requiring your account to be in a particular EU country, provided it can take SEPA direct debits (Regulation 260/2012, article 9). Orange accepts a Spanish account, or another eurozone account through a shop or by email. A UK account falls outside the EU rule.
- Your exact address, which the provider uses to check coverage and speeds.
Installation times
The providers’ own published targets, as of 29 September 2026:
| Provider | Published target |
|---|---|
| Movistar | 24 to 48 hours, 5 days at most |
| Yoigo | 24 to 48 hours, 5 days at most |
| Vodafone | 2 to 5 days; its 24 to 48 hour target applies only in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza |
| Lowi | 3 to 7 days in its FAQ, although its tariff page advertises 24 to 48 hours |
| MásMóvil | 3 to 5 days for a new number, 7 to 8 when you port one from another operator |
| Digi | 2 to 7 days on its own network, 2 to 15 elsewhere |
| O2 | 6 working days, or 7 to 9 working days with a number transfer |
| Simyo | The installer arranges an appointment within the first 7 days |
| Pepephone | Up to 30 days |
Orange does not state a lead time on the pages checked. If the home already has fibre installed, ask whether the provider can reuse it: O2, for example, says customers switching from Movistar with fibre already installed do not need a new installation. If fibre does not reach the address, ask about 4G or 5G home internet, which runs over the mobile network.
An installation delay is a real problem when you work from home. The free daily WaypointSur Briefing collects fixes like this one, the small local moves that save weeks of friction.
