What's the fastest high-speed internet in Colombia?
I've been thinking of moving my small business down to Colombia from the states, but whether or not that's possible depends on the internet speed and service dependability. I've gone to Telmex, ETB and other sites, but could everyone let me know what kind of speed/reliability they're getting for their service, and at what cost? I've been all over Colombia and love the country, so I'd like to get an idea about the service in all cities. Thanks for all your help, y viva Colombia, el país más precioso del mundo.

rocinante says on Feb 18, 2008, 13:51: You both mean Meg, not gig. Huge difference. No internet server in the world handles that bandwidth. Trust me. Really fast places on the planet are getting 1MB X 20 MAX, NOT 1MB X 1000! "World economic indicators point to a democrat winning 2008. It will surely be Obama.

rocinante says on Feb 18, 2008, 14:25: No pasa nada. 4MB down and 2MB up is really good for this day and age. If I could get that I'd do the jig (not the GIG). Medellin UNE is 2MB down 350 up for $200.000/mes estrato 4 with basic cable and land line. 3MB down UNE exists but the up is still weak, 500?. Slim's TelMex is 30% installed in the city and don't know what he is offereing in the way of speed. "World economic indicators point to a democrat winning 2008. It will surely be Obama.

Lostgringo says on Feb 19, 2008, 00:53: I don't know guys. When I had the internet in Medellin last year they pulled a fast one on the old gringo. When I pinged my connection the speed was allot lower from what they had promised. I called them and they told me, "we quoted you is only in Colombia." That's the internet in Colombia not the rest of the world!

rocinante says on Feb 19, 2008, 06:28: I get just under what they, UNE, quoted, 2000K DOWN 500K UP and I test the speed all the time. It burps down every now and then but that happens all over the world. I always test with a server in the US.
