As soon as the trial is over, I'm back in modem mode - especially seeing my BQM graph!
The network will also be good for VM's internet telephone calls.

Yes, your graph doesn't look great, but perhaps your area network isn't yet up to the standard required for the national WiFi network or 300Mb.

In the case of the FON network your FON router has to be registered and actively sharing. FON detect from their Spanish base whether or not you are sharing. You get about 6 weeks grace before you lose roaming rights. Within minutes of reconnecting your roaming rights are restored.
