Skype was fine. The bill was not cheap (about 35 dollars/month and I think at that time there was no cheaper level of service). Now have Dedicado. After quite a few visits by their techs to remedy interruptions, it finally seems to be OK. Am thinking of switching back to Antel for the cheaper lowest level pay by quantity because I am just reading pages on the web and making occasional phone calls. The locutorio across the street uses Antel and it seems OK for them.

I believe the installation cost is much higher than Anteldata´s ADSL but the service is much better. Stay away of DEDICADO. They are crooks!

I hope that it is resolved soon. It really is a shame that there are not any additional competitors in UY. What data service providers do the larger corporations there use? I wonder what backbone they connect to? Surely the Microsoft office in MVD next to the IBIS doesn't put up with any of those outages or limitations, so surely there must be the bandwidth and data connection into the country, maybe it is just the government that is restricting access to these services through the state run Antel. Does global crossing or another thrid party infrastructure company have connection/access points in MVD/UY? I wonder if there is room for a fiber optic network provider?

Any better over there? >>NO!  The taxes, regulation, danger and corruption there make Montevideo an easy choice, even with technological warts. Thinking of moving to BA? Any better over there?
