WiFi in Costa Rica September 7, 2007

Posted by admin in : Living , add a comment

Finding free Wireless internet in the United States is bad - trying to find wirless internet in Costa Rica is even worse. Where I live in Costa Rica, I am relegated to a dial-up internet connection, which makes downloading and uploading a major pain.

When I travel to San Jose Costa Rica, I take my laptop with me, in hopes of finding high-speed wireless internet. I have had very poor results finding wireless internet. Many hotels that advertise wireless internet, either don’t have it, or the service is lousy. So I usually end up eating a bagel.

Bagelmans in Escazu Costa Rica, is the one location I have found, that consistently provides outstanding wifi connectivity. It’s so good, in fact, that it is pretty much the defacto office for many people living in that area.

On any morning, you can find at least 5 or 6 people enjoying a cup of coffee, and high speed internet. What would take me ten hours to download at home - only takes ten minutes at Baglemens.

If you live in San Jose, you can get high speed internet, through Amnet Cable services. Baglemens has more than one location in San Jose but I haven’t tried them so can’t comment.

Does anyone know of other places that provide great wireless internet? Please comment and share with everyone.
