FIJO / INTERNET / TV provideres. Whats the best road?

So I am looking for setting up a fijo and TV for my hostel and after meeting with telefonica I realized someone probably already knows more about this than me. Has anyone worked with telefonica and what are your thoughts or what works better.

I was looking at fijo with unlimited local calls, internet at 1000k banda ancha and the TV with 60 channels(not sure how many come in english).

I need a fijo and it is basically free if you get the internet package, but i would have to drop my UNE service, and Direct TV is usually pretty badass.

Cheers

look at someone else ....telefonica are the worst .....get global tv ..look for an internet service provider .....and find another phone company ....go and look at the lines in front of telefonica about problems with their bills........

Smile and everyone will wonder what they are missing.

my experience with telefonica has been less than stellar - I signed up for the trio 3 months ago and still haven't received service yet - they say they haven't installed the line from the main trunk to my house - well 3 months without tv was killing me so what I did was find the telefonica satellite installer, pay him 50mil to install a satellite at my house (finding the bird was the hardest), brought down a captiveworks decoder, and now I'm watching all telefonica stations (and then some) without having to pay those jokers. As for internet I have 3 computers on a wifi and we just bought the basic service from edatel... either which way I found telefonica (in the coast) to be a bunch of jokers.

For your business go with Wimax Commercial (Static) due to the # of PCs you will be using. Telefonica basic for your phone if not commercially used. i have an internet based business, so i have internet through both Wimax and Telefonica. I use Wimax for the PCs, and Telefonica for Vonage phones and fijo. With the infrastructure here in Cartagena as sucky as it is, if one goes down the other is accessible. Telefonica customer service is non-existent.

RVW orderded me to remove my tagline congratulating the PBH Mods New Golden Boys. Lame.
