Bogota Reports

[Gabacho]

Airbnb's are no more predictable than hotels. Some hotels may have great wifi, others not. You could book a workspace at a workshare facility to be sure if reliable speed and service is critical.

He is right about the airbnbs having its own separate routers though, versus hotels having routers that are shared between different rooms. I remember I had rented a whole apartment in villa del rosario (near cucuta on the Colombia / Venezuela border) and I had this little square box right on the night stand, that was my own personal router just for me. And that thing had to have been 100 mbps it was blazing fast.

I remember I had downloaded a torrent file of an episode of star trek discovery in 1080 p from pirate bay and this was like a 2 or 3 GB file and it literally downloaded in like 45 seconds.

Most the time in hotels on the other hand the wifi is much slower and the same size files can take like 20 mins or more to download, it's often faster to just use my data on Tigo. And heaven forbid if you are in a room located far from the router, or someone else is hogging the bandwidth.

So I do agree with Madd. About whole unit airbnbs having better Wi-Fi.

I am planning to remotely work from the Bogota hotel.

What is a quality of internet connection in Bogota?

Is it enough for remote working?

These 2 have good internet from what I have heard-.

I highly recommend you stay in an Airbnb apt instead of a hotel. Select the option of "full / complete unit" instead of a room so you have your own router in the unit. Or an ethernet port to use your own. Hotel rooms don't come w routers and connection may be bad since it's a shared wifi.

For airbnb booking, ask first for the speed. Many have 100 mb or higher which is minimum I must have but many have low speed like 20 mb, so ask first.

I'd like to know myself since I'm going to try this myself for my next stay which is going to be for about 3 weeks in May 2024. I tend to use my own hotspot I have or tether off of my backup phone since they both are on my Google Fi plan. I'll post my experience once that occurs.

Internet in my place in Cartagena has been bad lately, so I would get a backup plan like having a hotspot with google fi which has unlimited data. AT&T has an unlimited Latin America $70 a month plan. Bogota is better than Cartagena with internet but the companies running the internet are pretty much the same in both cities.

But just so you know, I have always been able to get my work on the internet done in Colombia as long as I stay in the big cities. If you go 50 to 100 miles outside of Bogota though, you will have issues.

Bogota will have the internet backbone as good as any place. Your individual hotel it will depend. Just like anywhere else. But the co-work businesses will certainly have it.

Biomig is available for departure only as far as I know. Arrivals is same old deal.

Going to be flying in next week to BOG. Any tips for getting through immigration quickly other than jogging as soon as I deplane?

I read that biomig is available for foreigners. But it doesn't specify if its for arrivals or departures.

I'm trying to decipher escort ads. "Salida" would be outcall, but.

"Las chicas trabajan nicamente a domicilio no trabajan en lugar".

Whose domicilio? Their apartment or my room?

Which lugar? Theirs or yours?

Your house or yours apartment. They don't have a place for an incall.

You pretty much said the only trick I know LOL. I skip going to the bathroom once I exit the plane and go straight in line. Otherwise you'll be behind hundreds and take much longer.
