Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Ha ha. The Great Firewall is real; you may have high-speed internet to shop on Taobao in Chinese, but when they block the VPNs, you won't be able to do anything that requires one for days on end. - Mar 2019
Hotel wi-fi is reliably slow. It is OK for email and web surfing, but streaming is often not possible. Many websites are blocked in China: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and NY Times are some common ones. A good VPN service is necessary. - Jul 2016
Yes, it's included in our apartment so I don't know how much. - Aug 2014
It is available, pretty cheap, but hugely slow and unreliable. You will have to get a VPN if you want to access all of those sites the Chinese have blocked. - Nov 2013
