Anyone with an internet business in D.R.?

I use laptops, so that eliminates a lot of problems. Then I have an inverter. And finally, yes, I do have a bunch of UPS's. They are old and I can't really tell if they work properly, but my internet (hub/ethernet/dsl modem) don't go out when there is a power issue. It may be the inverter keeping everything up, I'm not sure.

I don't know about the cost, maybe US$50 or so? Just get whatever they have at Cecomsa or pricesmart and you should be fine.

Thanks, I have a UPS that I bought here for about that price and also have an inverter, but still lose my signal 50% of the time when the power cycles on. It maybe that the inverter I have is inferior, it was cheap after all. I imagine you probably have a Trace, correct?

I have a 1.5kw trace that is 5-6 years old now (although it hardly gets used since I have 2 good generator backups). I did this with a no-name inverter in the beginning and had the problem you described. When I switched to trace all my problems went away.

My electricity is rock solid reliable.

It depends on teh card that is in the inverter. The card does a "switch". There are some cards that do switch at a blink so the power cycle does not occur. There are others that make the power cycle occur. For example, PowerMagic is inexpensive one and switches rapidly so the power-cycle does not occur.
