DSL Internet Connection Medellin.

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a decent speed internet connection in Medellin? I need connection of minimum 700Kbps. Last time I was there managed 7.5 on a friends PC! Would appreicate if anyone could point me in the direction of a provider, need this to enable me to prolong my stay in the world's best city!

High Speed DSL It's available but very expensive !! Contact EPM as they can give you the prices and speeds for either Broadband or DSL. Check out their website for broadband options http://www.tripleplay.com.co

Looks like maximum speeds are 384/192 kbps for DSL and 256/128 kbps for broadband. Check EPM at http://www.epm.net.co/epmnet/ click SOBRE EPM.NET then click PLANES & TARIFAS PARA PERSONALES

I use 256/128 kbps in Medellin through broadband and 128/64 kbps through DSL but it takes two separate connections to keep me in business.

US$75/MO. buys you 384/192 kbps DSL !! You can probably buy higher speed connections through their business office but good luck as you better have residency status and a cedula to even open an account with them or do it from a friend. I would guess that 700 kbps would cost you US$150/MO. or more.
