Cubans Finally Allowed to Have Internet at Home, Socialist-Style: Expensive, Slow, Censored
Previously, Internet in Cuba was not allowed in private homes except in the rare case of some professionals such as doctors, lawyers, journalists and senior government officials. Private citizens of Cuba can now obtain Internet services at a high cost and rationed speed. Cheapest Internet US $15 will be 256 kilobits per second, similar to internet services in the United States in late 1990s. The fastest connection price offers download speed of four megabits per second, cost US $70. That’s two and half times the average Cuban salary. The same price would get a household in Miami 1,000 mbps. Internet will go through the servers of ETECSA, which censors websites critical of the Cuban dictatorship.
