At leat where I live in Trujillo Alto (considered Metro area) it is NOT. That is the reason I am here looking for other choices. I just did a speed test and download speed was 33kb. They advertise as 5MB, but it is Horrible!!!!!!!!!!! I also had Onelink in the past and it is not good either so I am looking at other options. Fran and Steve asked if DirectTV is good.

I've tethered (use phone as a modem) my phone with my laptop and get excellent download/upload speeds. I actually have a better signal --all bars-- then in my Florida home. I really don't pay extra as Sprint has unlimited data. I'm truly happy with my internet connection!!! I use my Sprint HTC EVO phone when I’m in my winter home in Quebradillas, PR.

The only cable submarine that goes to FL, because of that prices are higher than mainland US. I have DMAX at home since 2005 and never had a problem with them, recently switched to their 3 meg plan and up to FL that bandwith is always available beyond that is 2.6 to 3.0 but then again my location is in the metropolitan area. If available for home use I always heard good thing about aeronet service, we provide the same service but to comercial custumers but I don't really know our prices btw I don't work for either PRTC DMAX or aeronet I work for one of this hot shots internet companies in PR, problem is that we have one serious handicap in the island.

Have had relatively good luck with Choice services. Speed is not consistent enough. Infrastructure is not in place and the terrain is very challenging for faster Internet speeds.

I tried Direct TV and it was horrible 20kb to 25kb speed at all times...I used up my 3 day trials and returned it...with DMax waited a month before they were able to tell me it was not available in my area... Right now I"m using Global Surfer III from Claro...late at night it can run at 300 to 600kbs..during rush hour like i call it 150kbs to 200 give or take...my biggest issue is disconnection and the fact that i have a shared IP... I miss my internet service from NY...DL/UL was wicked... but in general costumer service for all the above mentioned just sucks...very unprofessional and rude...

I was tempted to get Virgin Mobile before leaving but wasn't sure how well it would work. I needed wireless internet and tried Open Mobile but it failed- it was so slow that it never downloaded any webpage, I called their tech service and got different excuses. One was that the first few days it would be slow due to being a new customer and the towers will take some time to recognize my system and when I called the 2nd time they said two towers were damaged and being worked on so there were too many people being rerouted, bla bla bla- hogwash. Perhaps it does work for some, but didn't for me. I returned the equipment and the funny thing is how they handle returns, won't get into that. This was yesterday. Then I went to Radio Shack and got the Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go service, and I started with the smallest plan of $10 for 100 mb- to test at home. It's working great so far. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint network and seems like coverage in Puerto Rico is excellent near the coast. Reliable wireless service is important for me. Hopefully it will still be this good during rough weather. Next will be my cell phone service. I'm still using Verizon wireless and their voice plan is working well here with their extended service, but no data and no local number. By the way the weather in Rockford is a bone-chilling minus 7F today and a pleasant 70 here, booya! I recently moved to Ponce, PR from Rockford, IL.

Every now and then you get a surprise bill of $128. even if you paid $98.89/mnth. One has to continually be calling them to keep them in check. Their service is ok and slows down when you need it most. I am just fed up fighting their billing department and want out. If anyone have a better company....please!!
