Internet in Iran
Iran has wifi and other wireless internet access from providers such as Irancell and Mobin net. The networks are widespread and often offer dialup(56Kb) speed internet access. Conservative forces within the Iranian government have been wary of providing internet users in their country with the adult content and politically dissident views available on the Internet. After a clampdown on unlicensed internet cafes a few years ago, cafe-net (کافی نت) facilities have popped up across all major cities and tourist centres. Some, but not all, are double-signed in English, so you may want to memorise the Persian script. If in doubt, any young Iranian should be able to point you in the direction of the nearest coffee net. Iran is the fourth largest country of bloggers.
most websites are blocked based on words appearing in their URL, although savvy coffee net users may be able to show you how to circumvent these restrictions. These include but are limited to social networking websites. You can expect to pay between 8,000-15,000 rials/hr and speeds range from acceptable in major cities, to the infuriatingly slow in small towns and rural areas. More recently, some facilities in major cities use broadband wireless or DSL connections. Most coffee net places will also have a DVD burner for downloading photos from digital cameras.
You will also find internet connectivity in most middle-class Iranian homes.
