Athens - Post Report Question and Answers

Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?

Yes, it was up and running in our house when we moved in. We just had to takeover the contract. We left it running when we moved out. - Oct 2023


The speed depends on where and what building you live in, but my experience and those of many Embassy employees was terrible speeds akin to dial up. In most cases it was easier to use cellular data than do anything on home internet. If you or your spouse is working from home remotely you might want to look into Starlink. Cell service is fine, and Vodaphone will be fine on most islands and cities. - Jan 2023
