I spent a month in CR last year, for such a small country it puts the UK to shame, I rarely found myself out of 3G coverage, even up in the cloud forest!.

Compare that to my usual South Coast train commute to London where I'm lucky if I get about 25% coverage for a 2 hour journey, and we're supposed to be a G8 nation!

On a side note, I've been working on my startup whilst travelling the states, Hawaiian Islands and backpacking through the Fijian Yasawa Islands and just got back to the UK. I'd highly recommend travelling to anyone looking to get something off the ground, I've always found it a cheaper alternative to paying rent in a fixed locality, there's nothing that beats just speaking to people from different backgrounds about your idea and getting their input.
