Thanks! Used Xoom and it worked like a charm.

Hi All, I've been living in Buenos Aires for almost 2 months now and loving it! I'm hoping someone knows of a good bank to visit to get money out of my Wells Fargo checking account. I'd like to get more than the ATM limit, so I plan to go to the counter to for a withdrawal (or whatever method...

Thanks for the info. I'm getting a backup DSL line in my current apartment, along with a replacement modem from the primary cable internet provider, Fibertel. I got the VoIP working as a softphone through a VPN for now, but the modem may fix it so I can use my hard phone. I'm considering...

I can tolerate minor (minutes) of downtime, but I use a VoIP phone that connects to a home office in Toronto, which won't work over a cell phone hotstop. It appears that I'll need two connections to ensure a reliability. I'm all for paying for a business tier connection as the primary, but I'll...

Thanks for the feedback. I am considering a dedicated line, as well as a supplemental backup line. Coming from Portland, Oregon, I'm not used to the aspect of shared service. I don't need much bandwidth, up or down. Line quality and latency are the import factors. I'll take a look at...

Hello, Is it true that certain neighborhoods have better quality Internet connections than others? I'm working remotely down here, and I will be moving out of my AirBnB to an apartment soon. I'm wondering if there is a particular part of the city that I should consider moving to in order to get...

Thanks. Mine is not working properly, so Fibertel will replace it or we'll get Telecentro. It isn't letting my VoIP phone service through, so the problem is either the modem or the ISP.

thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendations on a local IT consultant, preferably an English-speaker? I also need to know a good place in the city to go purchase a replacement modem for my crap Fibertel one. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know where in the city I can purchase a hardware VPN to use with my VoIP phone? It's a hard phone, and connecting it via ethernet to the Fibertel modem isn't working.

great! thanks for the info.

ok so it sounds like it doesn't matter that i told the customs agent that i was staying for a week. do i need to inform customs that i've changed my mind? this is my first trip to argentina.

Hey - I landed on Tuesday and am going to stay. I'm canceling my return flight. How should I inform the officials of my intention to stay? I'll likely want to do the 3 month extension in 3 months, so I want to make sure I'm doing things right. Any suggestions?

Hello. I'm also looking for a long-term rental with good Internet. I'm telecommuting with a company in Toronto, Canada. I'm open to suggestions on getting a reliable connection. Channel bonding sounds like a great idea if I can find a landlord to do it. I'm mainly concerned with my company's...
