Good high speed Internet. I suggest Personal that is run via fiber, if you can get it. 50-100mbps as long as there is electricity. It is cheap as well. About $30 per month for my 50 mbps. I use a DNS service and can usually get Amazon Prime, Disney, Hulu and Netflix. - Jan 2021

Fastest speed is 10MBS for US$150 / month. Slower / less expensive speeds are available. Internet is handicapped due to having to go through cables (Argentina / Brazil) to U.S., so you may get a fast speed here in country, but have it reduced by 10 going to the States. - Aug 2014

We have Tigo at the highest speed -- we do pay a lot more than most people, but our internet speed is about the same as Verizon Fios in the States -- for me, worth the price, but I know for others it wouldn't be. - Feb 2011
