Cootel is now offering Unlimited at 3Mbps for US$ 30 and at 5Mbps for US $50. I am using the 5Mbps data near Granada and getting speeds that vary between 1Mbps and over 4Mbps. The Cootel network operates at 1800MHz. One needs to visit the main store in Managua to get this, also to buy a router for an additional $10 or if using an existing router take it with you so that they program it to work at the faster speeds.

Probably best to start with a slower, cheaper package and if it works then upgrade. Reception will depend on the distance from the mast. Even with the 5Mbps package, Skype calls do not really work. Cootel does not answer the phone, so to sign up for the faster packages one it seems has to go to their shop in Galerias Santo Domingo in Managua; renewing for further months presents further challenges but payment each month by manual bank transfer is possible.
