Bangui - Post Report Question and Answers

Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?

While I was there my internet came primarily through a hotspot, which you would buy as many phone cards as possible to maintain. You could get service but it costs too much and was less reliable than what you'd get through your hotspot. - Jun 2018


HA! No. You must use a "puck" for internet and buy scratch cards to refill it. The embassy is providing pucks for staff. It is somewhat reliable, but do not expect to be streaming Netflix or downloading lots of items quickly. You may be able to do it, but it will cost you. Internet is super slow. - Oct 2017


The maximum speed is 512Mb, but it's largely unaffordable. You can get a nights/weekend 256Mb plan for around $100 month. - Jan 2012
