Costa Rica has among the slowest Internet speeds and least broadband access in South America.

It's slow as in you're not going to find a 20 megabit connection all to yourself. Normal speed is probably closer to 1 megabit, but you can easily get a bit better than that these days (I'm on 5).

Do you have Time Warner? I'm pretty sure South America is getting a faster connection than I have.
