State of Internet Access in Guatemala: From City Wi-Fi to Satellite Lifelines
Starlink launched in Guatemala in June 2024, offering 100–200 Mbps speeds for around $65–72 monthly. Spectrum auctions in 2023 raised $176 million, with Tigo and Claro securing most licenses. As of early 2024, internet penetration reached about 60%, but rural coverage lags, with only 10% of rural households online. Tigo and Claro dominate the market, operating nationwide 3G/4G networks.
