Hi guys is the Flash / DSL Internet reliable in and around LT / Playa Bonita. What speeds can one expect? Any body running VOIP over it? Is there any other good alternative Internet service available? Sorry about all the questions, and thank you in advance. David

Flash in LT

Yes, I have exclusive line in LT -Claro lowest speed. VOIP is good with Skype 90% of time.
Some Speeds about .4 / .15
Watching video clips works mostly at nights. e.g. bbc news - at other times pauses. I suspect that even if you pay for higher speeds trunk optical connections to Europe etc. are limited.
About 0.5% -1% downtime and 5% of time e.g. after a storm very slow.
About 45 dollars a month : but your have to bear in mind they may not have too many customers in LT and they must maintain microwave links etc. Need to go to Nagua to order/negotiate.
Service contract is 2 working days to fix - not so good. Do have english telephone response.
Special tv/internet/telephone deal on at moment.
Service is gradually improving.
Yanandu.
