It's not cheap and they still have to stay on top of the servers. For me depends on the price. Maybe when the service is equal to the price of all the espressos I buy! For more rural people, if in their budget they might. DHL now has a waiting list of like 2 or 3 years, which is not fast but possibly a more reliable server than cable.

WiFi at Cafe's have saved me. I also can upload with pretty much consistent success large files at cafes. Although it's more ideal to stay at home snuggled up in my office, I at least know here in the city, I can get a good connection somewhere. It's where a laptop becomes almost, I hate to say this, essential. I'm not sure about charging. I've just used what's available and been satisfied. Yes. WiFi at Cafe’s have saved me.

I own a small hotel in Samara. We have suffered with slow internet and continuous disconnects but we finally got Acelera installed and now even have wireless internet for our guests. I think Costa Rica just keeps getting better and better. If they would just beef up the police forcees and put the bad guys in prison I would say there is no better place for an ex-pat to live.
