On the website you can find some information:
http://debconf12.debconf.org/local-information.xhtml#phone-internet
Within the local team we mainly use Movistar cell phones (t is a lot
cheaper to call within the same companies numbers).
For Internet I usually take Claro, because they give two weeks of 1Mbit
with a max. transfer limit of 1GB for around $9 [1].
The deal René describes with Movistar sounds good, but officially on the
website Movistar Internet quite more expensive and pretty limited [2].
René do you have something written (link?) about the deal you got?
Cheers,
Felix
