Sorry about the encrypted post. I just want to know the average cost or approximate cost for standard or basic services in the following cities above. I am not looking for exact quotes, just looking to get an idea of how much it will cost every month for the four services above.

I understand CC"s frustration.

Internet depends who you get it from and what speed you want. I pay almost 2,000 RD from Verizon plus a phone line that is 300RD

Electricity - depends how much you use!

Water - Depends how much you use and where you buy it from - the city or delivered by truck for your cisterna or by the bottle for drinking or from your own well! I only get drinking water by the bottle - 32RD. The rest is supplied with my apt.

Cable TV - depends who you buy it from and that depends on the options where you choose to live. I pay 400 RD a month.

Electricity. 5,000 to 10,000 a month,if you have 1 or 2 airconditioners it is 10,000 if you want a few fans and a "Fridge" it is 5,000!
City Water is about 500 pesos a month
Cable TV, 1000 to 2,500 a month depending on "EXTRAS"
I pay 2,850 for phone,"VIP" Service,with internet from Codetel
Food and rent are the "KILLERS" here! As well as "Transportation"
