High-Speed Broadband Internet - Salinas

It took me almost 1 year to analyze all the options - and there are more than you can imagine - through a constantly changing landscape of Internet services. It took me almost 90 days to actually get the service installed from inception of the process to full installation.  However, I have been enjoying true high-speed broadband Internet access now for over a week, field testing it under various conditions.  The results are fabulous. Solid, steady, uninterrupted service, at consistently high speeds.  I chose an option that allows 2 MB up and 2 MB down, with a 1:1 dedicated line connection. Speed levels are available at much higher levels, which could blow that speed away. Multiple options are available at slower connection speeds, including non-dedicated lines, which would fit the more routine uses in most households.  Let's not mince words - the cost of such service, especially with the higher end dedicated lines, is steep. real steep.  Much more steep than that which you would find in the USA, Canada, Europe...the majority of the so-called “First World” nations.  However, if you need to have the speed and functionality, this is the only real way to go in Salinas, Ecuador, at least for now.

I am talking about speeds where even sizable and heavy file downloads are instantaneous. Where uploading heavy graphical and even video is lightening fast - at least for Ecuador. Where downloading and playing back video is quick, flawless...with none of the “stop and start, jerky” motions that video playback across poor connection speeds engenders. Where talking on Skype, Vonage, or any of the other VOIP phone options allows for perfect clarity voice calls, without the constant interruptions in service and loss of quality. I have been so impressed with the service that I promised the service provider I would let as many folks know about it as possible...and that I would host an Internet Service Orientation Event, for anyone that was interested in the major high-speed options.  A few things to be clear from the get go.  First, I am getting zero in terms of compensation for this. I mean...z-e-r-o. No fees, no service discounts...not sure I will get a thank you.  Second, when I said I am hosting the event...I mean...way back in the shadows, I am serving as host. The presentation is 100% fully made by the service provider. They present the facts...you ask them the questions directly.  Lastly, because I know the cost for the high end service will be cost-prohibitive for many, I had the service provider agree that while the featured presentation would focus on their high-end, premium service, they would also present information on the entire package of Internet services that they offer, which would meet any and all budgets. Literature for all the options will also be made available.

The point of this post is to invite anyone in the greater Salinas area to contact me, either in this thread or via the email that appears underneath my signature below, and advise me if there is a date or time preference in the next two weeks which would work best for you to attend. It can be as general or detailed as you like. Basically, I am looking to see if a weekday, as opposed to a weekend day is best. Whether morning, afternoons, or evenings works best.  You get the picture. Give me some feedback...leave your name, email address and the number of people that would attend the event.  I will contact you with a date and time, based upon the feedback I receive.  Imo, this is a must attend event for anyone that falls into any of the categories below:

1) Local Salinas area business owner;
2) Day trader in stocks;
3) Commodities trader;
4) Work from home graphic artist;
5) Work from home marketing consultant;
6) Any consultant that has heavy-duty graphical, imaging or large file transfer needs;
7) Anyone interested in installing the service as part of a high-end Cyber Cafe.

Those specific industry users come to mind immediately, but maybe you all can think of more folks that could use such a high end Internet service.  Again, provide your feedback on date/times, etc., as well your RSVP, either via a direct response to this post or via email, as listed below.
