I am having the worst time finding a reliable ISP here in Santiago. I have used Claro service not sufficient or reliable I found now I'm with Wind for the last three months and they are worse then Claro! I called Tri Com and they stated they cannot provide service in my condo complex. This is very frustrating I work from home and need a service that can provide signal strength and consistency for my laptop and VoIP phone. Any suggestions? I'm at wits end here....

I have just arrived in Puerto Plata and staying in Sousa.

The internet connection is rubbish and very expensive. I need a minimum of 3mb download speed and I am being quoted 100$ per month. At the moment I am lucky to get 1 Mb The box is Motorola and worst still unsecured. Any suggestions please Bob.

Thanks
