I was working from there last month and the internet went down for almost two full days after a storm. The staff was nice but couldn't fix it, and I missed a deadline. Has anyone found a reliable backup spot in that city?
That internet outage sounds brutal, missing a deadline is the worst. Always have a backup plan in cities like Cusco where the infrastructure can be spotty. The public library near the main square sometimes has decent wifi, and a few cafes on the side streets away from the plaza keep their own generators. It's worth buying a cheap local SIM card with data just for emergencies too. Never rely on just one place's connection down there.
Honestly, having three backup plans feels like a lot of work. Sometimes you just have to accept the spotty wifi as part of the travel experience, you know?
