Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Our sponsor helped get it up and running before arrival. Wifi is so spotty and cuts in and out very frequently in our experience. - Dec 2023
Yes, no problem. It also depends on the housing location, as our apartment set it up for us immediately. - May 2023
Yes. We have two routers from two different internet companies (we needed back-up for teleworking and on-line school). One on them usually has an issues 1-2 times a month (luckily never at the same time). - Oct 2021
Quite easy and fast. Within a few days. - Sep 2020
Internet is great with very high speeds. We have First Media, 32MB download package with cable TV for about $60 USD per month. http://www.firstmedia.com/get/basic/packages#x1-combo-4k. Very fast installation. Get a DVR with your cable box. Service can drop unexpectedly so have backup options in place. We also have a Home Bolt, which provides 30 GB of internet per month for about $20 USD per month. - Feb 2018

High-speed internet access is available, though not as reliable as in the U.S., and nothing like Korea, for instance. It is expensive, but probably just a little more or the same as a big city in the U.S. - Dec 2010
