We had trouble with internet at Lake Atitlan as well so that's definitely a no-go if you need reliable wifi. It's possible to find houses in Antigua with the internet speeds you've mentioned. I would suggest that before you settle on an AirBNB, please ask the host to run a speedtest and share the results with you. It's not an unreasonable request and most hosts will be happy to assist. Also, in the worst case scenario Impact Hub does have a 24x7 access package so you could go for that if you want although you should also find a house nearby in that case. Antigua is definitely an amazing place to spend a month in. We'd do it again in a heartbeat. You can do a lot of hiking and nature stuff around and if you want to take Spanish classes, it's also a great place to do that! Hope this helps, have fun! You'll love it! Hi Sasha

We're planning a trip to Guatemala and a big concern is whether or not we'll be able to work. I run a few blogs and we have our own site, and it seems like the coffee shops will be adequate, however we also teach English online to kids in China so we have to have class super early in the morning (between 5-9 AM usually) and after 8 PM sometimes on Friday and Saturday. In your experience there, what was the connection like at home? Do you think it's easy enough to find a place for a month with speeds at least 5-10 down and 2-4 up? We really want to stay at Lake Atitlan but everything I've read/heard leads me to believe we won't be able to work there as service is too slow/spotty. What do you think about Antigua? Thanks and love the site keep up the good work guys! Thanks for the useful post, guys! We’re planning a trip to Guatemala and a big concern is whether or not we’ll be able to work.

Even streamed Netflix on a regular basis - but that, of course, we did at home. I think you'd be able to work alright in Antigua. And, if you need a more reliable set-up, you can always work from Impact Hub, the co-working space I mention in the article. Hi Catherine,

I've never seen one like it before, but it's incredibly useful and very well designed and organized. I've got a follow-up question that I'm hoping someone in Antigua can answer! Is the internet reliable all day most days (places to go that don't have routine brownouts or anything)? And what are you actually able to accomplish with that 10mb/s? I've got 25 mb/s where I live now, and I'm a little worried that I could show up there and not be able to do the things that I need without a stress: namely streaming video a couple of hours, showing up for meetings on lync, and taking remote proctored exams that shouldn't be interrupted by connection issues. If anyone has any insight or advice, it would be seriously appreciated! Loved the article! I’ve never seen one like it before, but it’s incredibly useful and very well designed and organized.

I've had a really hard time finding good WIFI. Even though I know I would eventually find a place, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find Impact Hub! I am gonna check it out tomorrow.
