You’re welcome Sarah. You’ll have limited (and generally finicky) Internet access. Email will be feasible most of the time but VOIP it depends. Any video calls though, I would say it’s not worth even trying.

Thanks for the info so far! I work for a tech company in talent acquisition, however I work remote because I recruit all over the world. I’m planning on spending a week in Havana while working full-time. My cell phone provider can give me data that I can use and tether with, but I know I’ll be bouncing off cell towers in Cuba so limited with data. Would I be able to do a Google hangout? How was emailing? Trying to get insight to see if it’s possible at all.

That would be my suggestion – plan to take the time off from the Internet. You won’t be able to work if you’re hoping to stay caught up while you are in Cuba. Even when you do have a connection, it’s more frustrating than anything. You’ll spend more time waiting, reconnecting, being less efficient overall. Might as well go with the flow and enjoy it 🙂

We also get frustrated if it’s not fast enough to meet our needs. Thanks for this insight. I guess if you’re going to Cuba, don’t expect to get much done online.
