Prepaid Internet in Punta Cana can be useful for many tenants that are using short or even long term rentals.

If you are planning to stay for long term rental, make an installation of home phone line for CLARO and add Internet cable service, in some areas can be with additional Cable TV CLARO as well, possible with VIVA, or TRICOM.

I recommend to test same service mobile carrier in your home before getting a service, as for the signal strength. You can test one service by checking the signal of the mobile in your home.
