Our verdict

HaitiNet sells satellite broadband in Haiti, starting at $79 for its short-term lease with a top download of 250 Mbps. It suits households that want a connection with no minimum term and no fixed line, and suits less anyone whose budget cannot carry $60 to $100 a month once the launch price ends.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry at $79 for the Standard Short-Term Lease brings a working connection within reach of a household that has never had one.
  • Every standard option carries no minimum term, so a household can leave without serving out a contract and the ongoing bill is simply $60 to $100.
  • Reaches homes with no cable or fibre in the ground, since the service runs on satellite rather than the fttp that Abissnet depends on.
  • Downloads reach 250 Mbps, which covers streaming and everyday browsing for a single household.
  • Support runs on phone, so a fault is reported by phone.

Cons

  • The launch price of $79 is not the price you keep: the ongoing monthly figure on the Standard Short-Term Lease is $60 to $100, and both ends of that range are higher.
  • Uploads run 10 to 20 Mbps, so backing up a laptop, sending large attachments and video calls sit far below the download ceiling.
  • Support runs on phone only, with no email or chat route listed for faults.
  • Service is confined to HT, so it is not an option for households in other markets.

Who it suits

  • Households in HT with no cable or fibre in the ground and no fixed line to wait for.
  • Renters and short-stay households who do not want a minimum term attached to the service.
  • People who browse and stream far more than they upload, and who are comfortable with 250 Mbps as a ceiling.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Astound, which runs on cable and fttp and suits a home that already has a wired line installed.
  • Abissnet, which runs on fttp and is worth a look where fibre reaches the street.
  • Households that send a lot of data outward, since uploads stop at 10 to 20 Mbps while EarthLink, on fttp, 5G and satellite, offers wired options alongside satellite.

How it compares on our data

Readers comparing on headline price will see HaitiNet near the back of the field: it sits at 93 of 95 brands on price from. The picture changes on the ongoing monthly figure, where it ranks 28 of 36, a stronger position than the entry price gives it. Speed is the weakest showing, at 104 of 114 on max download. That gap is the one to weigh before signing, because a household that cares about evening streaming will feel it more than a household that simply needs a line. The pattern is typical of a satellite service: an entry price that looks ordinary until it is compared with others, a monthly figure that holds up better than the launch price, and a speed ceiling that trails the wired providers.

Core features

Every plan on offer tops out at 250 Mbps for downloads. Uploads sit lower, at 10 to 20 Mbps, and the gap between those two figures is what most households notice first. Streaming in the evening, pulling down large files and ordinary browsing all fit inside the download ceiling. Sending data out is where the narrower upload range bites: laptop backups, large attachments and video calls with the camera on all use the smaller side of the line. Anyone running a home server, sharing files for work or broadcasting live should weigh the upload figure against their needs before committing, since plan choice does not move it.

Plans and prices

Pricing splits into an introduction figure and an ongoing one. The Standard Short-Term Lease starts at $79, and that is the number most often quoted. Three standard options sit behind it, all covering the same speed range and all carrying no term: the short-term lease, an equipment-only option that leaves the kit with the customer, and an all-inclusive option that bundles it. The two bundled options cost more at the start than the lease, so the entry figure understates what a household pays to have the hardware included. After the introductory period, the ongoing monthly figure on the Standard Short-Term Lease is $60 to $100, and both ends of that range sit above $79. Budgeting from the launch price alone would therefore understate the monthly cost, so the ongoing range is the figure to plan around. With no term attached to any standard option, a household can stop without serving out a contract.

Frequently asked questions

How much does HaitiNet cost to begin with?+

The entry figure is $79 for the Standard Short-Term Lease, and that is the price most often quoted. Two further standard options cost more at the start because the equipment is included: an equipment-only option and an all-inclusive option. All three cover the same speed range and carry no term, so the choice is about hardware rather than speed.

What is the monthly price after the launch price ends?+

Once the introductory period is over, the ongoing monthly figure is $60 to $100. Both ends of that range sit above the $79 launch price, so the ongoing cost is the number to plan a household budget around rather than the opening figure. The same range applies whichever standard option is chosen.

How fast is the connection in each direction?+

Downloads top out at 250 Mbps. Uploads run 10 to 20 Mbps, a smaller figure that matters most for backups, large uploads and video calls. The standard plans all cover the same speed range, so moving between them does not change these numbers, and the upload side is the tighter of the two.

Do I have to sign a minimum term?+

Every standard option carries no term, so households are not tied to a fixed contract length. The Standard Short-Term Lease at $79 is the lowest-cost commitment on the list, and the equipment-only and all-inclusive options are equally open-ended. Nothing in the plan naming requires a minimum period before a household can leave.

Where does the service run and how is it delivered?+

Service runs in HT over satellite, so it reaches homes with no cable or fibre in the ground. A wired provider such as Abissnet, on fttp, depends on physical infrastructure reaching the street, which is what satellite avoids. Coverage therefore matters more than street-level availability.

How do I report a fault?+

Support runs on phone, so a fault is reported by phone. There is no email or chat route listed for this provider, which is worth knowing before an install date is set. Households who cannot make a phone call may find a provider with a wider support mix a better fit.

Is it cheaper than a wired provider?+

Not on the entry price, where it ranks 93 of 95 among the providers compared. On the ongoing monthly figure it ranks 28 of 36, a stronger position than the launch price suggests. Against a fixed-line provider the real comparison is often availability rather than price alone.

Who does this service suit?+

Households in HT that cannot get a wired line, especially where no minimum term matters more than headline speed. Streaming and browsing sit comfortably inside 250 Mbps. It suits less well the households that send a lot of data outward, because uploads stop at 10 to 20 Mbps regardless of plan.
