What you'll actually connect to

Real networks. Real speeds.

Antel provides robust coverage throughout Uruguay, particularly in urban centers like Montevideo and Punta del Este. Movistar, while strong in cities, can falter in rural areas, especially indoors or in remote locales. Both networks offer reliable outdoor connectivity, although Antel has the edge on public transit routes.
