Are internet speeds fast and reliable enough for digital nomads in Tulum?

in Tulum , Mexico by @natekap 7yr 7 years ago | 10 comments

Do any digital nomads here live and work from Tulum? Has anyone in the recent past?

I’ve been researching spending the fall in Tulum so I can work and also go to a great immersive Spanish school I found there. However, I recently started seeing a lot about internet connections being slow, going in and out if there is rain in Tulum, going down for a week at a time. On top of all that, I also heard that cellular connections are spotty there and that there isn’t 4G there yet. Airbnb hosts I contacted have said mixed things and the ones who were specific said that their internet connections were only 1mb up and 256k down…

Can anyone confirm or deny? Is Tulum’s infrastructure not quite ready for digital nomads?

What's the best place to work quietly from Tulum city in the Yucatan?

What’s the best place to work quietly from Tulum city in the Yucatan? I am looking for the most ideal place that is still close to the Tulum Ruins.
Hotel with business room or co-working space preferred.
