As far as internet goes, the best you can get is 4mbps and I believe it's around $160/mo... I pay $100/mo for 2mbps down / 512kbps up, and it randomly goes down for between minutes to hours at a time, at least every week or two. There's also the clusterfuck that is the government-run monopoly communications company that I don't really need to get into ;)

You're making me glad I posted here.
When you read write-ups on expat sites you get a totally different idea of the place. Coming from Vancouver (possibly the nicest, cleanest city in the world) I don't know how you manage anywhere else. I've lived in Lagos, Nigeria which is probably a lot worse than CR but I had thought things were better out there.
Right now I pay appx $128/month for 4mbps which goes down whenever it rains lol.
I'd be happy with a place on the beach, fairly good connectivity though.
