Taiwan and Korea rival one another in Asia with respect to the amount of time spent on-line. Almost all new apartments in Taiwan come hardwired with broadband making keeping in touch with friends and family at home, planning trips, researching culture and lesson planning SUPER FAST and ultra convenient.

The average cost of a broadband connection with unlimited access time in Taiwan is USD $15 ~ 28 per month. Nowadays, there are lots of free ISP connections. In Taiwan we haven't heard of dial up! :)

If you don't get hooked up at your apartment, you will always have internet at your school and internet cafes are ubiquitous (read PLENTIFUL) on the streets of Taiwan, and time is dirt cheap: most charge only NT$15~30 ($0.50 USD) per hour.

Requirements to Get Internet Hooked Up

• passport with an ARC
• you may still even need a Taiwanese guarantor
