Anyone have information about internet service providers in Chiriqui, particularly the Volcan area?
I have read elsewhere that there is some sort of cellphone service available in some areas.
Just got a quote for $300 to set up service for the month of November, with the company taking back the equipment after we leave.
That is just nuts.

How about getting a Claro USB receiver? That's what I do. Works just about anywhere in the country but it's slooooooooooooooooooow! If you want balzing speeds...thislittle USB isn't for you.

Tizzy,
Thank you for the info. Will be checking out the Claro. Found more info about it on Panama Forum (http://www.panamaforum.com/living-panama/41815-any-better-alternatives-claro-prepaid-internet.html).
AlexNeuman is especially helpful.

Just to clarify a post made about Planet Telecom. Quote was not for $300, we should speak with facts.
Every quote could be different because it depends on the conditions of the contract, speed subscribed and terms.
There is a reason behind the cost and we appreciate the referral made. We know the market, and it is not easy to get an installation of this type just for one month. Good luck!

Just to clarify Cristy's comment. The price she quoted me was not $300. Her quote was lower.
$300 was the quote from the homeowner/rental agent.
I do plan on talking to her again when we move down permanently.
