Editing Communications in Argentina (section)

===Broadband Internet access===
[[ADSL]] first appeared in Argentina in 1998, through Speedy by [[Telefónica de España]], a Spanish company. [[Fibertel]], a cable provider, now offers Cablemodem service in a limited range of cities, and ADSL is monopolized by the 2 major phone companies: [[Telecom Argentina|Telecom]] in the north with Arnet ADSL, and [[Telefónica de Argentina|Telefónica]] in the south with Speedy ADSL.

In 2004, Arnet announced new plans. Controversy ensued, as in small print it mentioned that it was capped to 4&nbsp;GB monthly. This plans were never put in practice until late 2005, though they were modified from the original announcements. There are no longer any capped plans. As of June 2010, they currently offer from 1&nbsp;Mbit/256&nbsp;kbit/s download/upload at around 20 [[USD]]/mo to 20&nbsp;Mbit/s / 512&nbsp;kbit/s for home users at about 77 [[USD]]/mo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://venta.arnet.com.ar/|title=Venta Online|website=venta.arnet.com.ar|access-date=2010-06-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100608101551/http://venta.arnet.com.ar/|archive-date=2010-06-08|url-status=dead}}</ref> Arnet has been slowly recovering its reputation, which was tarnished amongst connoisseurs due to their 2004 announcement.
