Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
CableOnda (now Tigo) was super fast to install service and is very good. I have teleworked for what seems to be forever and can't recall being offline. Mobile telephony is also widely available and prepaid plans are also easy to procure. - Dec 2021
Yes. - Oct 2018
Easy to install, fast enough for all of our electronics (quite a few). We stream quite a bit without trouble. The two primary providers, Cable & Wireless and Cable Onda, seem to compete for who can provide the worst customer service, but the actual reception is pretty good. - Sep 2018
Cable Ondo is what most people use, but customer service is bad. - May 2017
