Internet & potable water

9 years ago
My husband leaves for Trinidad in 2 weeks to negotiate terms for employment. He will be transferring with his current company. Our daughter will attend ISPS and we will be allowed a large shipping container of household items.
I have read the forum and what to bring and schools. I am very concerned with having high speed internet so I can continue my consulting work while living in Trinidad. Can someone please share about connectivity, availability of reliable Wi-fi and phone/cell service. I will have an international plan for my iPhone, but would like to use VOIP for calling internationally. Does anyone work from home with colleagues in the US and how do you handle it? My in-laws live overseas and have constant disruption of power, lack wi-fi and must rely solely on cell service to connect to internet. I am hoping that is not the case in Trinidad.
Also, should we bring a reverse osmosis water filtration system to have safe drinking water. I would prefer not to buy bottled water for drinking and the high end reverse osmosis systems are quite good at removing even small particles. I read that up to 20% of the water has bacteria after heavy rainfall.
Thank you in advance for your help.
