Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Yes, it depends on when the contract for the previous tenant runs out. But easily accessible and affordable. - Oct 2021
It’s typically very good and cheap. Our street had only two US embassy houses on it, because we weren’t on the main housing streets, and our internet was very very bad. This is not the norm as most are overall really good, we were just unlucky living on that street. The embassy couldn’t do much to help because the street hadn’t been set up for high speed internet (which was managed by the city). - Jan 2021

Yes. Install varies from 1 day to a couple of weeks, depending on neighborhood service/infrastructure, personnel availability, etc. - May 2018
Available and relatively cheap. Current service to home is 300 mbps. - Apr 2018
Yes, but ours doesn't seem so fast and drops often. It can take 1-2 weeks to install, it is best to have your sponsor install it before you come. - Dec 2016
We have really good internet for about US$80 per month. That's a fair amount, but we watch almost all our TV that way, so it's worth it to us. Quality of internet depends on which company serves your area, so it's worth asking about that before renting a place or accepting a housing assignment. (We use UPC and have been satisfied with it.) - Mar 2016
Yes, for about US$30-40 a month. Good reliability. - Sep 2015
Internet access is readily available thought it usually requires a long-term contract. All the same providers for cell phones offer internet. UPC, Orange, etc. seem to be the most common. You can get very high speed if you want. My internet costs me about US$30 per month for 10 mb of speed, which is usually all I need. - Nov 2014
We've had little problems getting it and it's pretty fast. Early evenings and sometimes on weekends it can get finicky or slow. We pay about $50 per month. - Feb 2012
Yes, but service can sometimes be spotty and is highly variable depending on where you live. - Nov 2011
Expensive and hard to upgrade. You must do with out for a month if you wish to upgrade to a faster connection. - Aug 2011
Cable Internet with Aster: It's okay service with decent speed. Cost is pretty cheap compared to US-based IP services. I pay roughly 110PLN ($40/mo) for fairly fast cable internet and phone service (more if I call to the US). - Aug 2011
Yes. It is hit-or-miss as to the quality. If you have TP DSL (the national company), it is spotty and prone to outages. Netia and other cable companies exist but the further away from downtown you are, the less likely you are to be able to use their services. When it comes to internet, you have to steel yourself to be patient and flexible. - Mar 2011
Yes, there is, and it is very reliable. - Jan 2011
