I'm in Madrid Spain at the Hotel de la Letras, one of the hip and cool places one finds on Tablet Hotels.
They have WiFi and wired options available. My WiFi connection yielded me over 2.5 megs down and just under 512 up, consistently.
The broadband connection is so good that VoIP really works well, amazingly well. This is the same experience that I had a year or so ago here when I stayed at the Hotel Urban and in Lisboa when I stayed at the Sofitel.
The key to the connectivity isn't so much the speeds alone. It's the low latency and very fast return path from speed test sites. What I'm finding is fewer hops, and better connectivity to the net is what matters for voice, video and streaming and when I'm in Europe those things are a given.
