Internet access in Cabarete, although usually good, has been inconsistent for the last couple of weeks.

Yesterday was a bad day, today's looking just as bad at the moment - webpages timing out & slow connection speeds.

Doesn't seem to matter the time of day. 9 a.m. can be working well, 2 a.m. may be impossible to get a connection. Or, vice-versa.

........my connection was running excellent.......

now that it's drying, it's beginning to slow down.

We have a pit outside the house in the street that has all the connections and I'm thinking about running my hose to it and keeping it filled with water!!!

Codetel Plan Basico 2. The Speedtouch modem goes into a Linksys WRT54G router. This router is set up with a static IP 10.0.0.7, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, and gateway 10.0.0.1 I am using the OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 directly on the router. This router serves as a DHCP server as well, but all my PC's have a static address.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............
I wonder why you're unaffected.
Just about everybody I talk to around here, has the same problem.
And I tried those DNS numbers to no avail.
Hopefully, Robert will find something out, maybe even get it fixed.

I use similar settings to Squat, yet I see this problem. If Squat's usage is less frequent, he will notice the issue less.

MrMike (also in Santiago) has been seeing the same problems that I have.

It functioned perfect for me here in Sosua until I read about the problems today, and then the problems started....
Dr1 is okay, but can't access Hotmail and a lot of other sites for the moment.

Can't access many web pages.

I cancelled an account with them in November and they hired a lawyer to extort $500 U.S. from me until i sent them a letter that I cancelled.....thinking of switching to cable from charamicos

This realy sucks. Hope it's temporarely, and that they are working with the problem. DR1 is almost the only site I can acces for the moment.

We have been having major headaches with them since early September, it appears the DNS service is weak and the entire connection "breaks" and is restored every little while, at least once every two hours and sometimes more.

We called them a few weeks ago and they said they had a major piece of equipment on the fritz and no ETA on a fix.

It took us awhile to do much because we were sure it was our VOIP provider causing the problem, since they did a major upgrade around the same time.

We are now pretty sure the issue is with Codetel and so we ordered a Tricom line which we are waiting to have installed. (They said today or tomorrow) I will let you all know how it works once it is ready.
