Is the Internet Fast Enough in Mexico City for Remote Work?

Short answer: Yes. Average home internet in Roma Norte and Condesa runs 80–200 Mbps download with fiber (Telmex Infinitum, Izzi, Totalplay). Most co-living and furnished apartments offer 100+ Mbps. Mobile data on Telcel 5G covers most of central CDMX. Video calls work fine in most cafés.

The full picture

Mexico City’s internet infrastructure in central neighborhoods (Roma, Condesa, Polanco, Narvarte) is solid. Fiber connections from Totalplay or Izzi deliver 150–300 Mbps. Telmex Infinitum is the legacy provider (50–100 Mbps, more stable in some buildings). For remote work, the key metric is upload speed and latency — fiber in Roma Norte typically gives 20–50 Mbps upload and 10–20ms latency, which handles Zoom, Google Meet, and screen sharing without issues. Mobile backup: Telcel 5G or AT&T 4G works as a hotspot in emergencies. eSIMs from Airalo or Holafly are popular among nomads for data-only backup.
