Internet in Guatemala: everything you need to know
Guatemala has roughly 55% internet penetration and 4G mobile coverage exceeding 85% of the population (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). Tigo (Millicom), Claro and Movistar share the market. 5G is at pilot stage in Guatemala City.
- ●Dense 4G coverage in Guatemala City, Antigua, Quetzaltenango (Xela), Cobán and along the CA-1. Decent around Lake Atitlán (signal at Panajachel, San Pedro, San Marcos and other lakeside villages, weaker on volcano trails). Patchier in the Petén (jungle, Tikal : signal in El Remate village and Flores, weak/none at the Tikal archaeological site itself), at Semuc Champey (signal in Lanquín, none on site), in the Ixil highlands (Nebaj) and the Cuchumatanes range.
- ●Average mobile speed ~20–40 Mbps download per Ookla (Q1 2025).
- ●No Western services blocked : Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, YouTube, Netflix work normally. WhatsApp is dominant for contacts (hostels, tour agencies).
- ●Great for InDriver (Guatemala City + Antigua taxis, Uber also present), Google Maps, Banco Industrial / Bantrab wallet apps and shuttle apps (Adrenalina Tours, Atitrans) for inter-city transfers.

Datadopt Observatory
Price per GB in Guatemala: what our data shows
According to the Datadopt Observatory, the lowest price per GB recorded in Guatemala comes down to 0.34 €/GB, across a sample of 1,301 fixed-volume offers retained for the measurement. That floor is reached on large data bundles : a 5 GB plan over 30 days costs noticeably more per GB. The real differentiator is still the depth of the offer : the more plans compete, the easier it is to find the duration and data volume that fit your trip.
