If you’re thinking about working remotely from Puerto Escondido, you’ve probably asked the big question: how’s the WiFi?
​
Here’s the truth: Puerto has come a long way. Most accommodations, cafés, and coworking spaces now run on Starlink, which means fast, satellite-based internet that works surprisingly well—even in a relatively remote beach town. So in terms of raw speed and coverage, things are solid.
​
But—and it’s a big but—all of that goes out the window the second the power cuts. And in Puerto, power outages happen. Sometimes it’s a quick flicker, sometimes a couple of hours. Either way, if you’re mid-Zoom, presenting to a client, or trying to push code, it’s a problem.
​
Even a brief outage can interrupt your connection, drop a call, or corrupt a file you're working on. And of course Starlink needs power to work. So if your place doesn’t have a reliable backup battery system, you're stuck waiting.
​
Another thing people don’t always think about: bandwidth. Some accommodations advertise “high-speed internet” but don’t have enough capacity to handle 10+ people working at the same time. You’ll feel it fast—especially on calls or video-heavy work.
​
That’s why, when we started building Amplitude, we knew the internet had to be more than just “available.” It had to be reliable, and it had to be backed up.
​
As remote workers ourselves, we’ve been on the dropped calls and scrambled-to-find-a-café side of things—and we’re designing Amplitude to avoid exactly that. We’re equipping our space with:
-
High-capacity Starlink for Business service
-
Battery backups for seamless internet during outages
-
Workspaces designed for comfort, focus, and actual productivity (because working from a bar stool with no A/C isn't it)
​
If staying connected is non-negotiable for you, and you still want to be somewhere social, comfortable, and full of life—Amplitude in Puerto Escondido is being built with you in mind.
