During the last 2 months I was in the USA the Claro line to our house wore out somehow and broke down. The service tapered off gradually. They did eventually come and replace the line. However they took the modern modem and replaced it with a POS from 2008 that barely covers 10 feet around it in the house. The Claro guy told my wife that this was a better modem. If I was there I would have seen it and not allowed it to be changed.
Is there anything I can do about this or do I just have to chalk that up to living in the DR and deal with it?
Maybe I will spill a Presidente on it right before I go on vacation.

Just tell them you want to upgrade your wireless router. It will probable be around RD1500. I have a Zyxcel and it covers upstairs and downstairs well.

Call and tell them that you are dissatisfied with the modem and request that it be replaced with the previous modem.

You don`t have to chalk anything up! Call customer service and complain. Sometimes it helps more if you go also go to a Claro center and talk to someone in person.
