The broadband service will be accessible in several common areas of the public housing complexes, including the surroundings of the administration offices and in the Technological Educational Centers. Aeronet, WorldNet and Neptune are among the companies providing the infrastructure for the Area IV properties, News is my Business confirmed.
Among the communities in area IV that have the service are Vista Hermosa I, Jardines del Paraíso, Alturas de Cupey, Monte Hatillo I, Los Laureles, Leopoldo Figueroa, Monte Park, Brisas de Cupey, Santa Elena, Antigua Vía, Park Court, Los Lirios, Villa Andalucía, and Las Camelias.
