High Speed Internet (DSL) in Colombia?

Yes in Cali.. Not sure about the rest of Colombia but Cali had high speed internet in their internet cafes so I assume it's available in other places too.

Yes in Cartagena I was in Cartagena in December and i had to go to the internet cafes to get online..!
It was available, but it still doesn't come close to the DSL that's offered over here..., but it helps..!
I never saw it in an individual's house...maybe because it can get a little expensive in colombia pesos..

There is in Pereira There is high speed in Pereira, so I imagine in most big cities, should be as well.

I'm not sure if it's the same as DSL, but there is definitely high speed non-telephone line internet, usuall refered to as "fibra optica"... it can be pretty expensive by colombian standards, but no big deal if you think and earn in US$. It is available in all the big cities and is probably spreading fast, usually offered by the local telecommunications providers or by the cable provider (offering combos).

Cell phone card? Do any of the cell phone companies offer internet access. I am thinking about bringing my laptop with a GSM PC card. I understand that they have GSM pre paid cellular networks down there and I hope I could get online that way? Anybody knows any good pre paid cell cards to buy? and do they offer internet?
