Good to Know
- Mobile data costs noticeably more per gigabyte than North America or Europe; e-SIM convenience comes at a premium price for longer stays.
- Flow's coverage is marginally better than Digicel in the Grand Anse corridor if reliability is your priority.
- Public WiFi is common in hospitality venues but inconsistent; mobile data over 4G LTE is generally more secure and reliable for sensitive work.
- Fixed-line infrastructure can be knocked out during hurricane season; satellite internet (Starlink, BusinessCom VSAT) is emerging as a backup option for disaster resilience.
- Fiber-to-the-home rollout is ongoing; if staying longer term, confirm your accommodation's fiber availability before committing.
