Istanbul - Post Report Question and Answers
Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Consulate was great about installing it before we arrived. It was pretty fast, and rarely went out. Home phone and internet were pretty cheap. - Aug 2021
Yes. Post has recognized the necessity of internet and ensured basic service is available upon arrival. For 25Mbps and a 100Gb cap, the price is around $30/month. 50Mbps and no cap runs us about $80/month and is reliable. More than enough speed for video streaming, Skype, etc. - Sep 2017
