Cambodia Expats Online: Forum | News | Information | Blog

Hello guys
I am new on here, so excuse the ignorance.
I have lived in S.E.Asia for years, currently in Philippines, ( real shit hole and I hate every second) Even the cockroaches carry small arms.....
I support myself teaching English online. (ZZZZ yeah I know)!
SO.... what are the speeds like? Is the internet reasonable? How about prices and how easy for foreigners to get it set up? Any one recommend a good hot spot?
I prefer classroom teaching but maybe Phnom Penh better for that?
Cheers

If you think the Philippines is a shit hole you'll be disappointed in Cambodia.

But on the plus side the internet can be good depending on who you go with, how much you pay and which way the wind is blowing. Plus the frequent power cuts.

Oh and not forgetting the new visa situation which doesn't like nomads, teachers, whore mongerers, or young retirees. You could be all I don't know.

Good luck!

I pay 16 bucks a month for this. Very easy set up.

what company?

Digi. On their 8mbps home premium fibre deal.

Guy asks questions about stable internet... gets response from neighsayer.

from my experience, internet connection is very good for a reasonable price (most companies do a deal, pay 5 months get 1 - 3 months free which works out at around $12pm)

I work from home most days and internet is up apart from a couple of hours roughly once a month, but can always tether your phone or go to a cafe nearby (every cafe/bar will have half decent wifi). I also spread bet stocks and have never been overly concerned with the internet connection.

Prices for locals and foreigners are the same, all prices advertised on their websites. Very easy to set up

FYI I am based in central Phnom Penh, which would have by far the best wifi coverage and least black/brownouts in the country

Guy answers the question with caveats another guy posts a trolling response. Some people don't live in PP where these things happen.

If you've nothing better to do than criticize posters then I suggest you have a word with yourself.

It was neither a troll nor a criticism. It was a vladimiresque pun!

Too obscure.
