Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Within a few days. Costs of $90 a month. - Apr 2019
MIRI internet service. It's pricy but adequate. - Jul 2018
USWiCom offered moderately reliable service for between 60 and 120 USD a month, depending on bandwidth. - Jan 2016
It's not high speed, and it's very expensive. But it's better than nothing. - Feb 2014
Internet is crappy and really expensive - US$100/month for what seems like modem service. OK for Skype, but streaming video won't work. - Jan 2014
Internet, yes. High-speed, no. You can choose between three speeds; the top one is $300/month, the middle is about $100/month. Even at the top speed, it takes about 4 hours to download a half hour TV show. It is not speedy. It's usually fine for Skype, though. - Jan 2013
Here is another upcoming change. It is currently provided for free. It is quite slow during peak hours and not that much better at non-peak. Soon we will be charged for Internet, and the rumor is that it will be $150 per month. But, the upside will hopefully be a lot faster speeds...this has been rumored to start in February of 2012. - Nov 2011
Same - you have it in all the spots. It's very slow during peak times. I have had a hard time streaming Netflix but it can be done- you will have a US IPS address so no need for a proxy. Bring a wireless router. The ethernet cable is provided in the SDAs. - Sep 2010
Yes - decent speed. - Aug 2008
