Anyone know recent internet environment in Cuba ?
When I traveled in 2013, there was no mobile environment and extremely slow even with wired LAN connection.
Besides, that is not from my hotel room but a business center or an internet cafe for travelers.
I think I paid at least 5-7 CUC per hour. Not that cheap.

I will also be there. As a matter of fact, I'll be in Varadero with 3 other teachers and a group of 28 students from March 23rd till the 30th. Still not 100% sure I'll go to Havana. I still need to talk to my 3 colleagues 'cause I'm there for a student trip first.
If there's a possibility to sleep in Havana for a cheap price after the show, then I'll go. and I'll have to quit early the next morning back to Varadero.
I'm from Québec, Canada by the way.

The same. Improvements are supposed to begin later this year with laying broadband cables for a few Havana neighborhoods. But it's still basically wifi with 56k modems.
If your phone is unlocked, you can purchase a SIM card before you go or at the Havana airport from Cubacell, but the data looks pricey. If you have Verizon and possibly Sprint - they're both supposed to be offering coverage in Cuba. But I don't think data is included.
I posted about options several pages back in this thread.

Cuba is not that complicated. I have used internet in Cuba during all my travels there during the past 16 years. Don't expect high speed wireless unlimited in your room and all of that, but there will be Internet available, to browse for info etc.
Also I am sure we will set up a meeting point at a central Havana location. I will be in Havana Cuba from March 18, and I will try to sort out a place where fans can meet and talk. It should not be that complicated.
From what I understand this is a free show like the Copacabana show in Rio 2006, come as you please, enjoy close up or from a bar nearby, this should be a show for everyone.
I will post more here as I find out.
