Santo Domingo.- The telecom Claro on Sun. said that since 2018 Public Works Ministry contractors have caused 40 damages which have affected the company’s Internet service.

The most recent was the partial outage which it affirms affected a large part of the users due to the work on the Navarrete-Puerto Plata and Puerto Plata Nagua roads by Public Works contractors that severed the national fiber optic network twice.
