Interesting post! 59 Euros is a lot to pay for a months Internet though! (or for 1GB). A couple of Simyo cards would get you 1GB for 10 Euros!

Sort of true, but not really! When there is no Yoigo signal it uses Movistar. Simyo uses Orange all the time. Signal on Simyo is decent (3G) even where I am which is a village with 300 people in the middle of the Mountains 50km out of Madrid. I get 3.5G here with Yoigo and Movistar. You can easily see coverage maps online. e.g. Yoigo:
Yoigo - Tenemos cobertura nacional. MÃ*ralo en el mapa. (select Datos from Servicios)

True for Simyo, but not for Yoigo that you can pick up in a shop such as "The Phone House".
Simyo is cheapest which costs 5 Euros per month for upto 500MB of useage and 9c/MB thereafter.
Yoigo is 3 Euros per day for high speed internet upto 100MB/day. It can also cost 1.20 Euros per day for normal speed internet (upto 384kbps) for unlimited data , but if you look through this forum you will see some people have reported some problems with this.
