Tigo is a local cellphone company, and they sell this little USB modem. It gets you on wireless internet using the 3G cellphone network, and the speed is actually pretty good. We shared the internet for the first time in class today, with Danaya's laptop sharing its connection to the other 10. It worked great!
Finding a good internet solution has been very hard. This works well in Panajachel, but the speed isn't fast enough in Tierra Linda. We are going to look into a booster there. Since there are no phone lines or cable lines in Tierra Linda, it makes it tough. Satellite internet appears to be slow, unfortunately.

We were never able to check our e-mail when it rained because the internet connection was so bad when it rained!
