Warning: I booked a 'nomad-friendly' apartment in Medellin last month and the internet was a joke. 2 Mbps on a good day.

Yeah that's the gamble with those listings. They slap "nomad-friendly" on anything with a wifi password now. I mean, my friend got burned in Lisbon with the same thing, a photo of someone working on a laptop but the connection couldn't even load a basic webpage. It's just a buzzword they know will sell.

What gets me is they never show the router. A real work space would have a photo of the actual modem setup, not just a stock image of a smiling person with a MacBook. I stayed in a place in Mexico that advertised fiber internet, but the router was from 2008 tucked behind a bookshelf. You need to ask for a speed test screenshot before booking, it's the only way to know.
