    Constant Internet

    My work is all via VPN, so I'm down if the connection is down. I've been using Fibertel Corporate plan for a 6 years and it's been very reliable the last years or so. I had Arnet as a backup but only used it once or twice and canceled it. It was so slow it really didn't allow for VPN or...

    Movistar 4G

    Run a speed test and see what speed you achieve. For reference, I have claro 3G and get around 3 Mbs down and 1.5 Mbs up. Not sure if 4G has a minimum, but look for around 10 Mbs down.

    Fibertel

    Same story here, use Fibertel Corporate 12Mb plan for 4 years and it's dropping connection and super slow the last 3 months. Fibertel replaced modem, seems better for a few days, then returned to poor service. I use a VPN for work, so data is not that large but delay is incredibly slow. The...

    Unlocking An Iphone 5 In Buenos Aires

    I was in your same boat last Jan. iPhone 5S bought in US, locked to AT&T. Thought I'd bring here and unlock online for $10 to 20. Apparently AT&T changed their policy last year and blocked 3rd party access to their unlocking system. This meant the cheap online unlocks went away. After much...

    Help: Missed Flight, Unattended Bags At Eze!

    I left a duffel bag by mistake at EZE once. Delta locked it in once of their offices until I picked it up later that day. I retrieved it with all contents. Only difficulty is they had no staff on site between the morning arrival and evening departure, so I had to wait around several hours...

    No Hiding And No Running With Delta

    Greg, I see that, any way to earn miles on the OTA sites? Even though they're worth almost nothing, feels like I should get something for my 1500! Thanks,

    Foreigners (Tourists & Non-Res) Cannot Use Ars For Travel

    I usually purchase airline tix from a travel agent in Uni Center with pesos. Yesterday they said I can no longer buy a ticket for my use in pesos without a DNI due to the central bank restrictions. It sounded like an agreement between the airline Delta and the central bank? Any non-resident...
