Free Internet in Cuba
At our travel agency CubaNeo Travel, we offer free internet in Cuba to our travelers. This is a unique service included in our travel packages to Cuba. Generally, visitors to Cuba can use their mobile phones without any problems. Internet connection is no longer a problem in Cuba as long as you can get a Cuban line (SIM) with mobile data. We offer our travelers a Cuban line with mobile data to connect to. The use of mobile data is FREE
It is very important to remember that when using mobile Internet in Cuba, it can be very expensive if you use mobile data from your own home phone line. In most cases it is wise to immediately disable roaming, as roaming charges can be high. We have thought about this and we want to offer the best possible solution so that you feel connected on your trip to Cuba. Also, in many of our private houses we offer Wi-Fi connection in Havana and other provinces of Cuba.
Options for connecting to the internet in Cuba
There are other options for using the Internet in Cuba. However, keep in mind that this is a country with many limitations. In addition to the Wi-Fi service (with hourly rates) in hotels, there are also public Wi-Fi points, but with less privacy, most of them located in parks. To access this service you must buy a card at an ETECSA office ( Cuba’s telecommunications provider) and through a temporary access card you can connect for 30 days after you start using it. The card has a username and password.
Internet for Cubans starting in 2018
I left Cuba for the first time in 2012 and I always remember my first impressions when I was connected to the Internet outside my country at that time. I had never had the possibility of being connected to the Internet in my country before. But this changed a few years ago and it has been good for Cubans. It is true that there is still a lot to improve, but at least you can say that it is possible to connect to the Internet. This was simply impossible before.
Surfing the web in Cuba was once a privilege for foreign visitors only. In December 2018, the Cuban government authorized internet access on mobile phones. Approximately 4 million people are connected to the internet throughout Cuba. We are talking about a population of 11 million people, according to official data. The internet in Cuba has improved very quickly in a short time. It is common to see many young people connected to Facebook, watching videos on YouTube and even broadcasting live from these online platforms. It is true that the internet situation on this communist island is not perfect, but it has improved a lot and in a very short time.
