Electricity and WIFI

Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to set up Electricity and Wifi in Punta Cana?  Trying to figure out if I should pay someone in advance.  So that the services will be on when I return.

You likely must do this yourself as contracts get signed.

With electricity 3 to 5 days.  Wifi will depend on the company used but again 3 to 5 days.

Remember always those are working days.  Don't count weekends, holidays, rainy storm days, birthdays, really hot days or days after a weekend or holiday!  (Partly kidding)  :D

Thank you.  My realtor had me to believe it would take weeks.  And wanted to charge me  US $150 to go and do it for me. I will just stay in a hotel until the electricity is turned on.

Your realtor just told you what kind of person they are. DO NOT trust them with anything!  Good luck with everything else. Let us know your progress.
