Good to Know
- Poiana Brașov will not have wired internet in accommodation; you must use mobile data or stay lower in central Brașov if you need reliable fixed-line connectivity for remote work.
- Mobile signal is good in the ski resort town center but can weaken significantly at higher elevations and indoors (old buildings).
- Romania has some of Europe's fastest and cheapest mobile data—expect 40–90 Mbps on 4G in populated areas.
- e-SIM activation before arrival is highly recommended to avoid airport queues; can be purchased for $4 USD starting price.
- If you require very stable broadband for video conferencing or large uploads, base yourself in central Brașov (which has fiber availability) rather than Poiana Brașov.
- EU roaming regulations apply; however, some Romanian prepaid plans have limited or removed EU roaming—check specifics at purchase.
