Internet connection

Internet connection here in South Korea is very fast. Make a call to a telecom company today and within the day or the following day, you will have the connection in your home.

I hope it is the same in my home country. Usually connection is made within two weeks. If there is an available line, they will make the connection within the week. You will even have to pay the technician to put on some additional lines if your computer is upstairs and there is an existing computer downstairs.

Also. connection usually stops at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon and lasts for about an hour. At this time. people usually go home and use the internet at home. So connection usually disappears for homes far away from the main connection.

Monthly charge is also expensive. The charge varies per telecom company. The big telecom companies usually charge a lot higher than the small ones but the connection is more stable.

Electric bills usually go up three up to five times more than your usual electric bill.

You should be making a lot in there. Or you won't be able to afford all the common luxuries an ordinary man enjoys here in South Korea.
