Unless things have greatly improved, last time I was there, it was Dial Up and the electricity was spotty, as its located at the end of the electic grid/phone grid, that was 2005. Laptops are a target for theft as well.
There are internet cafes but the service is slowwwwwwww. This is a party place and can be a tad nuts and a young euro backpacker, and Pt Viejo is a rather dodgy place at night and a heavy element of drug users are commiting random acts of violence and robbery against male tourist....no reports lately, but just so you have been warned, get the lowdown on rules of safety once there, and head the advice. Desolate beaches and roads are a risk on that coast.
just spoke with a buddy of mine who was in PV this past March and was robbed at knifepoint early in the morning on the road outside the hostel. He didn't have his wallet with him and just lost so
