Tegucigalpa - Post Report Question and Answers
Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
The internet is decent, and those that telework manage well with TIGO and CLARO. We are on generators and power outages are a weekly thing. There can be some pauses in service but they are short and the impact is minor. - Mar 2024
Reliable and you can get it installed within a day of arrival - Jan 2024
High-speed internet and cable are great here and installed within a couple of days of arrival. We homeschool, so we use it all day, every day and have only had a one or two outages that lasted beyond 15 minutes, nothing more than an hour. Power surges will happen and kill your connection but once the modem reboots, you're back online in no time. - Aug 2023
We can't get Cable color as it's our understandings not all channels are legal. So, Tigo is what is available. - Feb 2022
Most neighborhoods where Embassy families live have fiberoptic cable. We pay about $60 per month for 30 mbps per second (with unlimited usage). Connection took less than a week. - Oct 2019

Yes, through Tigo or Claro. Tigo comes to the embassy once a month and you can pay your Tigo bill at the bank teller in the embassy. Install takes about 1-2 weeks for home internet. I got my sim card within a week of arrival. - May 2018
Only Tigo. You need to have it installed when you arrive, could take a week. Not too expensive and generally works well enough to stream video. Occasional outages that seem to be resolved relatively quickly. - Apr 2018
