That would be great if OneMax could be the "Orange" of the high-speed internet ! That said, I have an Orange cell phone since February 2005 (I switched from Codetel), but I find the Orange quality to have dropped immensly over those past couple of years...
Anyway, thanks Robert to provide this interesting info. If OneMax ever hits the Las Terrenas region, it will be a bomb !!!

I am watching with interest because few things would please me more than being able to liberate ourselves from our bondage with Codetel.  |

At the moment, Orange is in a state of panic. Their user base has outstripped their capacity and they are seriously lagging in their system upgrades. Recently a big parts of their systems have been suffering breakdowns due to this constant overload. I heard this from from my English students inside Orange.
Have you noticed how many times you have to dial a number before you connect?
Nevertheless, it is still a great company and I am sure they will float up again... at least they still have the users... but it speaks volumes that this happened and has continued for well over a year...
It's a Dominican lethargy virus!  gre:

point in case from 2 users now 
STILL, I hope they DO offer good competition. For the moment I am happy with Codetel DSL and I'll just watch OneMax.

If OneMax has the potential to provide wireless while I'm roaming the country I'm a potential customer, I'm watching closely for the time being but might subscribe and just wait for coverage. Anybody knows what sort of subscriptions are available? Haven't had a chance to check it up yet just back from Bayahibe.

Currently I am paying $2,850 for 1.5 from Codetel and it sucks,\
and with the phone number service, modem rental and taxes,
my average codetel bill is in the high $5,000 to almost $6,000 range
each month.
And coming from Canada recently were we get 18meg service for
only $100 per month using Cable, this is a large backwards step.
Checking out their webpage it looks good to have another Internet
company, all tho it looks like it might be years before my area
(Barahona) is ever covered, it if at all.
I love the fact they are offering 4mb service, but check out their
prices ----- (sit down for this) ---- $22,990 per month, plus taxes
plus modem rental, plus $390 per phone number (up to 64 lines).
All tho you can call all of this country, USA, Prico and Canada for
free. (not bad, if you have a large place with booths and charging
people money to phone places.

Could you run the test results again when they switch to the non codetel-backbone?
