Thanks for the help,

I guess he was thinking about $500 or so a month, anyone know if you can get a like phone and internet hooked up in the apartment with just a passport? Prepaid internet wont work because he needs highspeed. So, should he just go and leave before 6months or pay a fine if he leaves after 6 months? The utilities I would think would be the main thing. Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, if i dont get anything up front and he just goes on a passport, how long can he legally stay in the country? If he overstays, can he just pay a fine when he leaves? If he is planning on getting his own place can the internet, phone etc be hooked up without a cedula or visa? Anyone know?

money69 comments on Internet access help in medellin and apartments

I went ahead and made a short little summary of what I found out so far about internet options in medellin and would like to run it past you guys to get an idea on where I stand and get some input. I am in need of something with good upstream bandwidth.

www.internet.telecom.com.com - seems to have the best upstream, 512k up but its like COP$500,000 a month.

www.tripleplay.com.co-Cable, seems good for the price, upstream is limited to 256k.


www.cable.net.com.co-Available in medellin? Has good upload, but i dont know how much it costs.

www.etb.com.co-Doesnt specificlly list the upstream bandwidth, doesnt really say price either, available in medellin?

www.telefonica.com.co-Doesnt list price or packages from what I can see, available in medellin?


Anyone have any ideas on what it would cost to get maybe a 768/768 frame relay or T-1 in medellin? Any input would be appreciated.



Thanks
