Interjet can be also used for VOIP, but network congestion may limit the upload speeds. I have seen major improvements in service quality over the past 1 month. Because the service is new, there still may be some slight issues, but as the time goes it will get much better. They get broadband connection in most major cities and pueblos in the DR, and the speed is only a little bit slower than my 768 kbps Codetel ADSL. For people that need to be on the go and have Internet access when they travel, this is a good option. VIVA's Interjet service offers mobility at convenient price. It contacts also a plastic pouch for the Interjet USB card, a USB extension cable, and the proper EVDO USB card. It contains a CD, with an easy, straight-forward installation. When you sign a VIVA Interjet contract, you get a small box of a size of DVD.

My Lingo VOIP service uses g729 codec, which does not take a lot of bandwidth, but because of EVDO packet overhead and general VOIP packet overhead, needs at least 50-60 kbps steady upload connection (or download) to function well. The problematic part was upload (other party hearing me) because the upload speed was inconsistent.

The download (hearing the other party) was not a problem. Once it worked bad, other time it worked fine. I have also tried the service with VOIP using my Lingo adapter. For people like me, who travel weekly throughout the DR, it allows possibility to check email, browse websites, do work and much more, on the go. It is so much different from my first days with Interjet, when connection would be so slow it was impossible to open even a simple webpage.įor RD$1400 + taxes, this is a reasonable Internet service allowing mobility. But now, anytime I connect, I get a reasonably fast connection. I do not use the service continuously, so I cannot say it works 100% well all the time. I connected to the service in Santo Domingo - Gazcue, Zona Colonial, Naco, in Santiago - Estrella Sadhalla, in Puerto Plata - Caribe Tours terminal, and now the service is even working in Higuey (previously it only offered 1xRTT coverage at very reduced speed). It is a far cry from 2.4 mbps, but also a far cry from previous 2-5 kbps when it did not work. Wherever there is EVDO coverage, I can get at least 500 kbps. Since about the last week of April, the service started to improve. Needless to say, I was getting frustrated, and was considering canceling the service.

I did have many, many phone calls to their support line, where I was told to revise the settings over and over (which I did not change at all). This was in Santo Domingo - Gazcue, or Bavaro city center.
There were moments, even the whole days, when the connection would not function at all, or was at 2-3 kbps, resulting in impossibility to browse at all. The service, supposedly offering 2.4 mbps download, was at best offering 200 kbps, when it worked and where EVDO connection was available. I contracted the service on March 29, 2008. The service allows up to 2.4 mbps download, and up to 144 kbps upload. Viva, formerly Centennial Dominicana, started offering new high-speed wireless service called Interjet back in January 2008.
