Paramaribo - Post Report Question and Answers
Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
High speed internet is available depending on your location. It is typically available in new neighborhoods, especially those on the northside of Paramaribo. Installation are usually made within one week; they are faster when you are paying with U.S. currency! - Apr 2022
Internet was already installed for us when we arrived. It costs about $50/month. It's not the fastest, but it's enough to stream Netflix and make video calls, so I'm happy enough. - Feb 2020
Well they say high-speed home internet is available, but the reality is NO. We have the highest (aka most expensive) plan and our upload/download speeds are 5/1. Ours was available the day we moved in, but our house was not new to the housing pool. Even the internet at the Embassy is less than stable (or fast). - Jun 2017
5 down/ 1 up. You can stream... kind of. Different plans but probably average around $100 USD a month. - May 2016
High speed being a debatable term. I think we paid US$75/month for about 1-2MB. - Dec 2014
It depends on what part of town you live in. Our friends on the north side were able to stream movies for around $60USD/month. On the south our internet was not that fast despite paying the same amount. There were faster speeds available on the south but they cost well over $100USD and we weren't willing to pay that much. - Jul 2014
Yes, see above. - Sep 2013
Yes. Affordable. - Nov 2010
DSL is $50 a month. It's reliable but not very fast. Just ran a speed test and the download rate is .11 mbs and upload is .10 mbs. I don't watch a lot of videos on youtube but for regular use it's fine. We've also had no problems playing WII online, it's slow but works. - Feb 2010
