Connectivity Reliability Tier Rationale
Fiber and mobile 4G networks are available and expanding in central Siem Reap with generally good coverage; however, occasional peak-hour slowdowns, infrastructure cuts during roadwork, and variable older-building reliability prevent a higher tier classification.
Typical Speeds
4G speeds in urban areas typically 10-25 Mbps, adequate for streaming, video calls, and browsing.
SIM Acquisition
SIM cards easily available at airport (Siem Reap International), mobile shops, and retailers throughout the city. Registration with passport required by law. e-SIM plans also available for compatible devices.
