Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Super high speed, super cheap, installation is like three minutes. - Aug 2023
Yes. Sounds like many posts are installing before people arrive. - Sep 2022
Internet is quite good and fairly reliable for a developing country. - Jun 2020
Yes, internet is available. The embassy helped us with that and to be honest, I don't know if they help everyone, but these days, they should, worldwide. - Jan 2019
Our social sponsors had it working for us when we arrived. We get 70 Mbps for....to be honest, we're not actually sure how much it costs. We only know to pay our bill when the internet suddenly stops working, and then I just go put 100 lari on our account, and we're good for another....while. I'd say maybe $40/month? However, our colleague (also in Vake) had super slow internet, and it took him about 6 months to get Fiber installed (although he did and now it's working great). - Apr 2017
Yes. It can take 1 day to 2 months. You can talk to the person living in the house before you and try to keep the service turned on. - Feb 2017
Dighomi area has high speed internet (fiber) for about US$20 a month. I get 75 MBPS consistently. People in areas closer to downtown have varied experiences. 3G and 4G is not a thing here yet. - May 2016
Internet was pretty good where we were, but I think it depended on your neighborhood. - Jul 2014
Yes, though I've found the customer service to be terrible and the Internet frequently goes down (or gets cut off by the provider due to errors to users' accounts). Internet costs approximately USD$45 per month, which is expensive given the poor and unreliable service. However, when the Internet is working, it's fairly speedy. There are very few Internet cafes, though quite a few restaurants in Vake and the Old City offer free wireless. - Oct 2011
Yes, but sometimes there are outages. Costs about US$50-$100 per month. - Sep 2011
Yes, and it is very cheap. 30 USD, and it is faster than in my home in the U.S. - Apr 2011
Yes, $50-70.00 US monthly - Jun 2010
Depends on your specific location. DSL is available in some homes for $50/mo. I had to use 3G/HSDPA off of the cell networks ($45 / month). - Oct 2009
We paid about US$70/month for Telenet--TERRIBLE management but decent service. - Jan 2009
