Yes, our was installed within three days, and the speed is great. - Jul 2018
Unlimited home internet and cell phone data costs about 60 dollars per month. Most places in Taipei have free internet, and most people do not call or text, but instead use a messaging app called "Line." If you do not use a lot of data to stream music or videos, it probably would make sense to get a more limited plan. But either way, the unlimited plan is only about 30 dollars. This was all set up by my sponsor before arrival at post. - Mar 2017
