Hi Speed Internet Coming South of Puerto Viejo?

Local sources tell me that ICE is stringing new cable from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo. As locals well know, hi speed ADSL Internet arrived in Cahiuta and Puerto Viejo almost a year ago (previously available only with very expensive satellite connections) but communities to the southeast of Puerto Viejo such as Cocles, Punta Uva and Manzanillo, were out of luck, still stuck on dial-up. But this new cable may be what they’ve been waiting for. These same sources tell me that ADSL may be available as early as February. Of course, deadlines always seem to slip in Costa Rica so we’re keeping our fingers crossed.
