I know that this question has been asked before, but given the current economic/energy situation, could you tell the monthly cost in Santo Domingo in a 2-3 bedroom apartment for:

1. Electricity
2. Telephone
3. Flash Internet (by the way, how long does it usually take to get this installed)

Thanks!

Your telephone/computer service, assuming you have one computer and one telephone number is going to cost you around RD$2,000/month for VIP/Flash. This means your computer can be on all the time and you don't pay per minute for local telephone calls. First you get the phone and then you apply for computer service. Depends on the luck of the draw. Some people get immediate service, others wait awhile.

Regarding electricity, airconditioning will be a factor of importance. What are your plans in that respect?

You can figure

on paying RD$2500 for a small a/c unit, more for a larger split unit.

A house with 2 television sets, fridge, washer and a couple of other appliances will go for about 6-8 thousand a month, easy..

HB

a VIP with DSL Flash will be colse to RD$2500 a month.

According to my latest Codetel bill, the current cost of VIP service is RD$795/month and Flash is RD$1,195. Add tax RD$278 and you have the total.
