Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Relatively fast and cheap, but not so reliable. - Jun 2022
Our internet was set up prior to arrival and has been fast and reliable. We pay US$80/month and can stream movies and call with Facetime with no problems. Some neighborhoods have more issues with internet, but on the whole it is far better than what we've had elsewhere. - Aug 2018
Some people pay $25-20 and say home internet is OK. We started at $80 a month and with that can almost always stream Netflix. - Sep 2017
Yes- US$100 a month and reliability varies. This year seems to be better than last, but I know several people who seem to always have their internet out. I think the key is being attentive and as soon as it goes out, try to reset it at home (that works a lot) and if it is still out, to call your service and get someone on it right away. They rarely need to come to your house, you just make a call and a few hours later it's working again. When it IS working, we'll stream movies on multiple devices at the same time, with no problems. - Jan 2015
We paid about US$50/month for internet access that was able to stream videos. - May 2014
The fastest consumer broadband, which can just about stream a YouTube video on a good day, costs about $55/month. - Dec 2011
