Interesting that it is finally come in to an area near me. Not so interesting is that it is CLARO who is the supplier. It has been a very long time in coming. Sorry to hear it may not be worth the wait.
How much are they charging for the service?
When I had fiber it worked just fine. The hassle was getting the Claro account and getting the service installed. I was paying approx $3500 per month for 40mb/s internet, voip phone with 200 int'l minutes included per month. No television package although that option exists. Much cheaper, faster and more reliable internet than the service offered by that cable company that starts with the letter D.
I miss it a lot. Especially when I am paying my cable bill.
So many of us are waiting for faster internet!
Delancer is not available in my area, just Cable Del Norte, who seem to have fewer issues than Delancer. Cable Del Norte will be obsolete if 40 mb/s is available at that price from Claro. Unless Claro sucks in reliability, which may happen.When I had fiber it worked just fine. The hassle was getting the Claro account and getting the service installed.

40 mbps and 400 domestic/international minutes on Claro Multiplan doble (no TV) would be 2,724 pesos today, all taxes incudes.
fwiw
I live in SHR and have the new fiber (10 mg)

You can get up to 40 mbps on Claro ADSL/VDSL. I currently have 20 mbps and my line could support their 40 mbps plan. I am quite close to a remote DSLAM though.
If you have one of those Huawei modems (or Zyxel , as above) you can check the attainable data rate in modem statistics. 10 mbps is actually quite doable with a solid stable line at a 2.5 km distance from the DSLAM, if the copper line does not have faults, have been recently built or rebuilt. If it has faults (menaing interference/noise will kick in) you may have issues to get 10 mbps at that distance at certain times of the day or days of the week and would e affected by intermittence (in which case Claro would downgrade your line to 5 mbps).
Last week I spent a couple days visiting a friend in Perla Marina. His condo is near Cabana Natura, near the beach. It had the worst wifi and cell phone connectivity I have ever experienced. Needed to hang outside the window in the rain to make a cell phone call with my claro, and sitting a few feet from the wifi modem and still very slow useless service. Is this a problem with his building or is this normal for Perla Marina?
