I'm looking to outsource a portion of my business to Nicaragua (or any central American country). However, I need to be somewhere with a solid internet connection to download numerous word and excel files. Price is not really a concern.

What are your speeds where you live? Any suggestions would be great.

We have a new solar powered tower in Playa Remanso but the fastest speed I am aware of is 4mps. Ggnet. I use only one mps and it is sufficient for YouTube videos and email. I also have a location there.

I just received info from Caro: WIFI per month 49,99 $ for 3 MB, no installation costs.

But you might add a fixed phone line and cable TV for 20$ more.

of course Claro, not Caro - sorry!

Claro' speed claims are often wishful thinking.

I have a residential Claro 2Mbps dsl line. I have never seen that speed. It varies from usable to non-existent.

No matter who you go with, it can vary day to day and neighborhood to neighborhood. Claro, in particular, is used to providing bad service but their employees are well trained to blow you off.

I`d go cable in a big city rather than 3g in the boonies. Again, service can vary from neighborhoof to neighborhood,as can the power failures.

You're more likely to get faster and more reliable internet in Panama than any other Central American country.
