As referenced in other threads, Codetel Flash (DSL) from Santiago has been unreliable lately. I find many websites slow at times, including Youtube and DR1.

I have tested this with my private proxy server. Anytime a website is running slowly if I access the website via my proxy server it works. This happens because my proxy server is on one of codetel's fast routes to the USA. Therefore my proxy server can route the connection for me instead of using Codetel's routes which are temporarily unreliable.

This problem has been for some time now and its affecting access to lots of major websites as well as VOIP.

Has anyone tested Tricom's DSL internet? Are there other DSL options out there? Or some other workaround? Since Codetel has been sold are things going to get worse?
