In my opinion, internet here is not great compared to what you can get in the U.S, but it is very affordable. The fastest speeds you can get is 100mbps. You will get constant internet outages and most of the times it will occur at the exact same time of every single day and every month it that time will change. If you don't have VPN service I highly recommend you get one before arriving here. - Aug 2023

We've had good connection apart from last year during the war with Armenia when the government restricted bandwidth. I think our connection is 50 mbps, but honestly I can't remember. We pay around $100 per month and can stream movies with no issues or lag time. I think installation took a day or two to get scheduled, but it was so long ago that I can't remember. - Jun 2021

Our internet was installed before we arrived. We don't pay, it's part of the deal with the rent of the house. I think others do pay about $20/month. I'd say it's great about 80% of the time. We stream videos and music, download books and haven't had really any problems. - Mar 2017
