Bring your own unlocked mifi (850/1900) device, buy a data only Virgin SIM and you will be good.HybridAmbassador wrote:Whilst in Japan travelling: 7 days full gear up to 5 device connections US$34.00..Is this type of Wi Fi router rented in the airports of Chile?

There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn't true;
the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

Re: Internet Connection
I just discovered another advantage of VTR.
Their cable TV/banda ancha box has a built-in UPS so if the power goes out, you can still remain online assuming you have a battery operated ethernet ready device like a laptop.
I am writing this with the power out in our area.

Re: Internet Connection
Hello, I just read some article about netflix testing internet users in Santiago and concluding that the best one is VTR if you want to stream. Does this sound true?
Thanks,

Re: Internet Connection
Netflix works pretty good on VTR for me. But I'm in Coquimbo, and it could be different in Santiago. And I don't know how it compares to anything else.Rose wrote:Hello, I just read some article about netflix testing internet users in Santiago and concluding that the best one is VTR if you want to stream.

Re: Internet Connection
I have a lowly 6 mega DSL connection from Vomistar and it works beautifully for Netflix.

Re: Internet Connection
I have VTR with a 40 Mbps speed in Santiago. Keep in mind that this is the max speed and if you work a normal job and come home and use internet during normal hours, you will never come close to that speed. They always advertise the max speed which really is theoretical. That said, it is not horrible, we can usually stream video without problem. Overall, given where we are, I am satisfied with the service.

Re: Internet Connection
I am in the 5th region and no hardwiring is available for home use. I use a 4G pen drive from Movistar which works great. Initially had it on computer but bought a TP-Link router which accepts the pen drive, as opposed to a cable. I stream Netflix movies and do USA work from home here with no problems. I had Entel but they have only 3G here in my area. As for satellite usage, I have no experience other than TV.
