 |
|
I'm considering coming to Santiago to look for a job but I'm also interested in how good the internet service is in Santiago. I doubt that it's as good as here in S.Korea where I am now but is it at least OK for Skype and YouTube and moderately large downloads?
Thanks,
Art |

Chile is pretty developed in that sense. More so Santiago.. Internet is fine it all depends on what you're willing to pay (or your landlord or whatever). You can find many hotspots for free wifi in the city, at malls, cafe, etc.
If you're planning to come to Chile and don't really know what the country is like, I suggest you do some research. |

| Sorry.. I'm sure it sounded a little harsh but really i meant it as honest advice. People tend to think that if you know 1 country in South America (guerillas in Colombia, kidnappings in Argentina, etc), you know what all South American countries are like and that just couldn't be farther from the truth. So hopefully you'll find out a lot about Chile before coming. You should look up someblogs of English speakers living and teaching in Chile to get to know about their experiences.. Just a suggestion! |

Ive had great internet service, bt lots of problems. (garbage truck keeps swiping out my cables)
VTR has had EXCELLENT customer service with me. others hate them, of course, as no two customers have the same opinion. last year they sent 8 technicians in 1 week, each taking another stab at fixing my problem . sucks that they couldnt fix it the first time, bbut good customer service to send someone new every time to replace new parts and test it out. of course murphys law it always worked just fine until they left.
personally see no difference from internet here than in the u.s. |
