Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Yes. There are few different plans and companies to choose from with varying rates and speeds. We have been pretty happy with ours. We pay about $60 a month and are able to stream and play video games okay. Install is pretty quick. - Apr 2025
No problem. - Jul 2020
Yes, Telma offers fiber that gets us about 3 megs to the US. Usually good enough to stream standard definition TV/movies. Infrequent outages but be prepared for them anyway... get a backup 3G router from Orange. - Mar 2017
Currently $130 USD per month for internet service that sporadically goes out. - Oct 2015
Yes, this is available... costs are coming down regularly. Best to check once you arrive in country. - Mar 2015
The regular internet service is quite slow but passable for reading email, news and Facebook. It is annoyingly slow for watching YouTube videos. Skype works fine. It costs about $70 per month. Fiberoptic connection is available, but that is much more expensive - however, those who have it swear it's the key to their sanity. There are at least 3 internet providers. Most US Embassy families use Telma. - Apr 2013
Internet is expensive and of bad quality. I pay $70 for ADSL that is quite slow. It's fast enough for Skype, however. Madagascar was recently connected to two underwater fiber optic cables. I hope that the speed will soon go up and the cost will soon go down. - Apr 2010
It is available but didn't find it high speed? Maybe a few seconds faster than dialup modems... - Dec 2008
