Thre are some providers in Cost Rica who offer you these sevices.
A Highly recommended AMNET 😀
Cable Tica 😀
B Recommended ICE 🙂
C So, so An American working somewhere from Atenas:?
D Worst of all Puro Wireless around Grecia 😡I just feel to warn you to be very carefull signing contracts with D
if i didn’t already have skylynx (which i am very happy with) i would just get one of those 3G sticks for my computer and sign up for service with ICE — wherever you can get cel reception, you also get high speed internet with that little gizmo. the service is C7000 a month, and i think the thing you stick into your computer runs around $100, maybe less. no routers, no sketchy service if you move too far away from it — you just need a cel phone signal.
I’ve been hearing that 3G service (for internet) has deteriorated and is very bad at the moment. My understanding is that ICE is trying to resolve the problem, but so far, no luck.
I’d say that if you live close to the town center you should opt for Amnet.
If cable is not an option (most expats choose to live higher up in the mountains), I recommend ICE Enterprise connection (you have to be able to see one of their towers from your property). The monthly fee is about $70 including taxes, but the connection fee is minimal (comparing to a $300-500 charge of any other provider offering similar service). So far we’ve been quite happy with the connection.
FYI: We used to be with Puro, but they went out of business. The guy from Atenas wasn’t able to connect us as we’re too high in the mountains and their antenna is looking down at the valley, not up into the mountains. We’re very lucky that ICE now offers this new Internet service.We have it since January. We opted for 512M, but we can get 2G if we wanted. The technicians check what max speed you can get on your property when they install the equipment, so that if you change your mind later and want a faster connection they can do that from their office with 1 phone call from you.
