I don't see any possible way in Cuba of having a higher connection speed from home right now, but you (and others) could help me to maintain the one I am able to use by sending monetary donations to my Caribbean Transfer debit card through www.cash2cuban.com or www.caribbeantransfers.com web sites. The how to donate information could be added to my personal wiki page so everyone knows how to proceed on donations. For the matter of numbers, consider that 60 hours of a full Internet commutated connection with 5KB of average speed is available for foreign people only, at a cost of 50 CUC (see http://home.enet.cu/informaciones/tarifas.htm) per moth. However, because I'm Cuban not a foreign person, I cannot buy myself the Internet account directly to the ISP[1] and need to pay it through a foreign people whom may charge between 40 and 70 CUC of additional cost for it[2]. Thus, the final cost for this sort of connection is found between 90 and 120 CUC a month. Karan, thank you so much for interesting in this. [1]: This is a politic of ETECSA (www.etecsa.cu), the ISP of Cuba. [2]: This depends of the foreign person you find. Specially, if there are several persons between the foreign person whom buy the account to the ISP and the person whom sell the account to you. -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera at gmail.com>
