Internet in Ethiopia


Internet in Ethiopia

There are numerous internet cafes in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Nazret, Bahir Dar, Gonder, Awasa and other cities. Usually, within Addis Ababa, connection speeds are most of the time more than adequate for performing tasks such as checking one's e-mail. A typical internet cafe will have a dozen computers using one broadband (usually starts from 128kbps) connection. Ethiopia's international connection is unstable: On bad days, even a broadband connection will only deliver dial-up speed, because the whole country's traffic is running via an undersized backup satellite connection. To use the internet costs between 25-35 Ethiopian cents/per min in the bigger cities but out side the cities it usually costs more than 1 birr/per minutes. Most of the computers have USB, so maybe you'll interest in using a portable e-mail program (like Thunderbird portable) from an usb-stick. Take care of computer viruses! Most computers or flash disks in use are infected. Outside of bigger towns, it is harder to find a working Internet connection and the charge per minute is often much higher than in bigger towns.
