After months of wrangling and phone calls, with an inconsistent service. Codetel finally admitted today they have serious problems. All the equipment in the control centre in Sosua alone, and the cabling must be replaced.
I spoke to one of the managers, again today, in Codetel in Santo Domingo, not the call centres. This may well affect other areas. They do not know when the work will be done, but said this will be months down the line. He told me this also a couple of months ago. I had been paying for 1.5MB and never received it. I originally had a 2MB plan, but after one month they changed it and said 2MB is not available in Sosua to those on the residents plan.
Now I see on their website, the only plan you can have in Sosua is 0.5MB, as shown below;
Codetel
This is mine today;
The codetel test site shows I am receiving 76kbps download and 21kbps upload.
The Manager for my area, finally refunded me 9675RD for all the overcharging on my facturas. I was only owed about 4700RD, but the rest was for the inconvenience. What a milestone that must be. :tired:
So now we have to put up with it until Carlos Slim can "afford" all the new works. After all, he is struggling, he is now the richest man in the world, with $53 Billion. (He only overtook Bill Gates from MS, apparently, because he does not donate to charity, as Bill Gates does.)
This is incredible, did you know Afghanistan has the fastest internet in the world, according to the news. Their infrastructure is far worse than ours.
How is the internet in your area? C & P the forum link in Speedtest.net and let us see just which areas are better/worse than others.
