Hi Phil,

You already asked me this question on the thread, "Advice for people coming or relocating to Cape Verde" and I already replied. Not sure why you are asking it again here especially when it's not the topic of this thread.

Hola Angelo,

I suppose you can get this special simcard on each island ?

how good is coverage on the different islands ?

how many years exist the present internet facilities with 4G ?

Best regards.

Hi everyone,

Am I right in understanding that in Cape Verde the maximum internet speed is not high, 30-40 mbps?

Although a new high-speed line passed through the country in 2021, are there any plans to increase the speed to 1 Gbps?

Tesla recently released their capabilities to cv.

Check out starlink it's fast internet from satellite for consumer.

My company is using StarLink in CV. It's extremely fast but not 100% reliable. I would say it's 95% reliable at its worst. The signal does get slow or completely drop from time to time. But for us 95% is fine. For some businesses and individuals, this may not be acceptable. It may also be a little expensive for the average consumer in CV at 鈧�120 per month (most of that is the government fee!).

The local providers of internet service have nothing to worry about as the StarLink price is about 2-3 times as much.

If anyone has any questions on StarLink, let me know via private message.

But the best deal is from CV Telecom. They give unlimted data for 6,000 escudos per month. Data-only service requires a special SIM card. You will need to go into the Unitel or CV Telecom store to obtain the SIM card and activate it.

So basically, I could bring my 4G/5G modem/router and use that sim to for my all family's needs. How much speed would that 6000 Escudos per month subscription give me?

Thanks a lot. Great advice!

Now, you'll get around 70-80 Mbps download and 20-30 Mbps upload with their wired connection (that would feeed your modem). Same goes for their SIM card in your phone, but that service is only 1,000 escudos per month.
