Bump. I'm also very curious about this.

What type of speed can you expect, how much would it cost to get high speed internet, and are power outages an issue to having a consistent, stable internet connection?

Hi,
There are a number of companies offering high speed internet. We chose Movistar because they offered a package of fixed phone, cable television and internet. We pay for HD and movies and a 15mps internet connection. It has been down twice since we moved in over the last 3 months other wise the OKLA test always comes up with slightly more than 15. If you want to pay you can have 60mps. Movistar guarantee at least 40% of the paid for service, others only offer 10%. For our package we pay around S/.380 - $125 (based on today's /!\ I AM A STUPID SPAMMER /!\.03 to the $). If you don't have residency then that can be a problem, unless you know someone who has a DNI ( national identity card) who is prepared to order it for you. Installation costs are up to S/.150 and include cable tv box, wireless fixed phone and wireless router - normally takes about a week to install. We live in San Isidro where they have installed fibre optics - other districts don't have that yet and the speed may vary.
Hope that helps,
Mike
