Re: NETC or ACIS
Posted by Keith on 7/10/08
Hi,
I've traveled with both companies and ACIS service is a lot
better. NETC advertises the educational part, but is very
limited in Costa Rica. ACIS also seems to work closer with
you and they go out of the way to accommodate you. NETC says
they do, but not really and they also have a lot of hidden
fees.
One of my coworkers told me the other day she saw an article
on line that NETC was being sued for using illegal
immigrants to work in their US office, the article also
mentioned the owners were trying to sell the company because
of this. I’m not surprised at this as I never trusted them.
You can’t go wrong with ACIS.
