we have 8Mb/s in the house and run it also as wireless over our Beach, runs very fine and very most Times the 8Mb/s or even more are available, but it has it's ups and downs here in the DR, that's why we have a 8MB connection, to make sure that we always have at least 6Mb/s available for the real use.
the Networks here in the DR are Always "overloaded", not reliable on the offered/sold Speeds,
you always need to take some Mb/s more than what You permanently need to guarantee your needed Speed.
and you need to complain to Claro permanently during the first Months and provide them with the printed Proof that their sold Speed been not available 24/7, it really lowers Your monthly Rates/gives extra Mb/s for the same Rate.
we wanted here originally a simple 2 Mb/s connection, been a cheap offer on monthly Rates, but it also been a Toatal over all "Cheapy", as it was a unreliable crap. we started to complain from the first week ahead, twice a week a visit to the Claro office and a thousand phonecalls to them. so they gave us a offer for an upgrade to 5Mb/s, deal done, but we still printed our speeds and proofed them that we do not get real 5MB/s, it took a total of 3 weeks and we finally got for our 5Mb/s Deal a 8Mb/s connection to guarantee that we really always have 5Mb/s.
since then we are not complaining anymore, specially that they gave us 2 full moths Free in addition, lol.
