Coverage and networks

Uruguay has three operators: the state-owned Antel (market leader), Movistar and Claro. Antel has by far the best nationwide 4G coverage, reaching roughly 99 percent of the population, and performs strongly in rural areas and along the Atlantic coast towards Punta del Diablo and Cabo Polonio, where the competitors are weaker. 5G is rolling out in Montevideo, Punta del Este and a few capital cities. Networks: Antel, Movistar, Claro.
