Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?

Internet is good here. Installation does not take long but if there is an issue they usually are not responsive. Pretty typical internet service anywhere in the world I've been. - Mar 2019


This past year internet has improved markedly. We now have fiber optic to our residence at 30 Mbps. Cost is very reasonable: 30,000 CFA (about $52) per month, and the service is more reliable than anything I've experienced elsewhere in Africa to date. - Feb 2019


It is but it is a joke. Don't rely on the internet for anything since it is almost always down. They have a cell phone company called Togocell and for U$55 dollars you can have internet on your cell phone. The service is very expensive and inadequate. And every time there are riots against the local government they turn off the internet in the whole country. This is a place to read (A LOT). - Sep 2017


2Mbps is the best you can get, for around US$175 a month. Expensive and slow! - Aug 2015


Internet service is improving and the cost is about US$100.00 per month. - May 2014


160 dollars a month, slow and expensive but no choice! - Mar 2011
