Had a perfect day in Medellin last week with zero wifi issues for the first time

I worked from a cafe in El Poblado and my video calls actually loaded without freezing, which never happens here. Anyone else have a random day where everything just clicks for remote work?

Those 3 blocks around Provenza are the worst for wifi because every influencer and digital nomad camps out there. It's kinda like how grocery stores are always packed on Saturday but dead on Tuesday morning, you just gotta time things right. I've started mapping out which cafes have backup fiber lines so I don't waste half my morning fighting a laggy connection.

Hit on something there. That day you had was probably a fluke, but it's actually the slow season in Medellin right now. Less tourists means less people clogging up the networks, so wifi works way better than usual. Wait until December hits when everyone shows up, then you'll be back to spinning loading circles. El Poblado cafes are always hit or miss too, depends on which block you're sitting on. Glad you caught a good one though.
