By San José, Costa Rica — Costa Rican telecommunications company Metrocom has launched its fifth branch in the Greater Metropolitan Area, setting up shop in Desamparados and bringing 50 new jobs to the canton. This expansion further solidifies Metrocom’s presence in the region, adding to its existing locations in Sabana, La Unión, Hatillo, and Guadalupe.
The new Desamparados branch will offer Metrocom’s full range of services, including high-speed fiber optic internet, telephony, digital television, and comprehensive solutions tailored for both residential and business customers. This strategic move underscores Metrocom’s commitment to serving the evolving needs of Costa Rican consumers and businesses.
To understand the legal implications surrounding Metrocom, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
Metrocom’s operations raise important questions regarding data privacy, particularly in the context of Costa Rican law. The collection and use of personal information from commuters necessitates strict adherence to regulations like the Data Protection Act. Companies utilizing such technologies must prioritize transparency and ensure individuals are fully informed about how their data is being utilized and protected. Furthermore, robust cybersecurity measures are critical to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information.

As these technologies become increasingly prevalent, ensuring responsible data handling practices isn’t just a legal imperative, it’s also essential for building and maintaining public trust. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for offering his valuable legal perspective on this evolving issue.
Metrocom’s Commercial Manager, Luis Abellán, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s expansion into Desamparados, highlighting the canton’s dynamism and potential.
Desamparados is a dynamic canton full of potential, and we are proud to be part of its growth. Beyond offering cutting-edge technology, our objective is to create employment opportunities and contribute actively to the well-being of the community.
Luis Abellán, Commercial Manager of Metrocom
The company’s dedication to community development goes hand-in-hand with its commitment to providing top-tier technology. For three consecutive years, Metrocom has been recognized by Ookla, a global leader in network testing and analysis, as having the fastest fixed internet in Costa Rica.
Ookla’s comprehensive study, analyzing 4.4 million tests, revealed that Metrocom’s average download speed is significantly faster than its competitors. With an average download speed of 319 Mbps, Metrocom outpaces the second-fastest provider by a remarkable 60%, which averages only 195 Mbps.
This consistent speed advantage positions Metrocom as a leader in the Costa Rican telecommunications market, providing customers with reliable and high-performance internet connectivity crucial for both personal and professional use. The expansion into Desamparados further strengthens this position, bringing high-quality services to a growing community.
This latest expansion is not only a testament to Metrocom’s growth but also reflects the increasing demand for robust and reliable internet services in Costa Rica. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Metrocom’s strategic investments in infrastructure and community engagement position the company as a key player in the country’s technological advancement.
