Ecuador has three networks: Claro, Movistar and CNT. Claro is the market leader with the largest 4G network and the best coverage in rural areas and along main roads. In cities all three work well, but in the Amazon region (Oriente) and on the Galapagos Islands coverage is limited. Networks: Claro, Movistar, CNT.
For cities and the Andes region, 5 GB is more than enough. If you head into the Amazon or the Galapagos, expect little signal and download maps in advance.
Ecuador lies outside the EU, so your home plan does not apply for free here; an eSIM prevents high roaming charges.

Limited. Claro and Movistar offer reasonable coverage on Santa Cruz and San Cristobal, with Claro the strongest. CNT has little there. On other islands you should not count on reliable data; there you often use your hotel's wifi.
Only to a limited extent. In larger towns such as Tena, Puyo, Coca and Macas there is usually signal, especially via Claro. Deeper into the jungle the coverage quickly falls back to 3G or nothing. Download maps and information in advance.
