I agree with Hillbilly, you will nto get anything done over the phone. You need to do that in person, with your passport.
For example here -
EdeEste (electricity) - passport + contract + deposit - paid in person - site revision (about 2 days later) you have to be present to sign on the sheet, then you get a contract sign on that, then you get a meter and you are ready to go. Without bribes or "knowing someone" about 7-10 days total.
Codetel - passport, you get a contract, pay deposit, your line is hooked up within 3-7 business days, Internet - after that. If you do not know anybody, count on countless problems. Ask the salesperson if they know any techs (they know) and their phone number - offer them $$ (to techs) to speed up installation. Also, if you are new to DR Codetel may not want necessarily to install you Internet for 3 montsh until you prove your credit worthiness (strange, I know, but that's the way it is) - you may need to put thye line after somebody else's name and after 3 months do a simple swicth to your name.
Cable - any form of ID, pay installation, be available for installation, sign on the sheet, you get the box, ready to go - the simplest one of all of the above. And it's only about "3 days" if they aren't that much busy...
