What is the fastest avalable "flash " is that dsl?
Is there a plan phone/cable/internet if so how much ?
And is broadband offerd?(or is that the broadband. Thanks
That is just flash, a phone plan will be more.
My bill runs between RD5500 to RD6000.
Chip00,
$995 - V.I.P phone service
$2,200 - DSL 1.5mb
---------
$3,195 - Price before Taxes
$895 - 28% taxes
---------
$4,090 Total with taxes
Looks like you are getting ripped off CHIP00, unless the prices you quoted includes cellular calls and other long distance calls you and your family are making.
Plan VIPLUS Flash is $2,155 before taxes, that's with DSL at 1 mb.
With taxes, the total is $2,758
Note: Centavos have been omitted from amounts.
Also, everyone should be aware that the target speed the Codetel technicians set at your house will only be 80% - so 1.5M will be set to 1.2 and 128 will be set for 102.
Chip00, the target speed, as you say, is not set by the technician to 80%, it's the nature of the beast! The speed quoted for (A)DSL (Flash as it is known in DR) is the nominal speed. In a typical DSL installation the actual line speed is usually about 80% of the quoted nominal speed and it depends on the quality of the line and the distance from the headend. Note that 80% of nominal speed is considered to be a good DSL connection anywhere in the world. Also, there is quite a bit of protocol overhead that eats up your bandwidth. (Syncing, Ethernet, TCP, IP, ATM...)
