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.
