Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
It is readily available, it is usually provided by the building so it is available as soon as you move in. - Mar 2025
Yes. We have great internet in our embassy assigned apartment. It took less than a week for them to set up, however on arrival, we had a SIM card and a little wifi unit available. It didn't work well, but it was nice to have until our real internet was set up. - Feb 2025

Typically yes. It was surprising that we landed in a building that is only 5-6 years old but was not wired for ethernet, so we have an ADSL connection. It is normally ok for Netflix, etc but it's not ethernet so backing up files/photos/etc to the cloud can take hours at times. We pay $35/month for landline phone/internet. - Nov 2016
Not expensive but not high speed either. You won't get what you pay for, that's for sure. - Aug 2015
