Looking for an accommodation in the North

I know of a couple of quiet, inexpensive and refurbished accommodations around Grand Baie, although I am not sure any get 4M internet connection! Does anyone in Mauritius get 4M?

Hi Silvia,

Could you please post this advert in the Housing in Mauritius section?

Thank you.

Hi, my current letter from orange says upgrades till 4M are available at around Rs.2,349/month (inl. vat). Grand Baie area etc.

Yes, sure but... Have you ever tried looking at your actual internet speed??

There is a classified section for advertisement  FWIW:
https://www.expat.com/en/housing/africa/mauritius/

Call me cynical Sandy but in your profile you make a point that you have  a house to rent which may be of interest to foreigners...are you sure you havent joined the expat forum just to push your house rental?
Also note as External says you should post in the classifieds.

Hi sylvia

Yes, sure but... Have you ever tried looking at your actual internet speed??

Umm no, it has detoriated to like 50 Kb/s ?

Well guess what, while cycline along the outskirts of Pereybere leading to chemin 20pieds the Mauritius Telecom had a poster there saying that they are working on the internet saturation issue. So something is being done to improve it.

I'm not new, but things happen and so I created a new EMail-Account especially for you. Now you can send your information about your bungalow to kokoo.lores@web.de

Silvia, I am not sure if your PM feature works yet, so I'll also share on here. There really is an overwhelming number of rental villas or apartments in Grand Baie / Pereybere. The best solution I can think of is to move to a place for a week or a month and then just look at advertisements for places yourself. All you have to do is look at the advertisement section at Super U in Grand Baie, there are already a lot of ads. I also know a couple of people who have apartments for rent, so once you get here, if you still want I can give you contact infos and take you around to visit rental places.

Dietmar, here is something I just found on internet speed in Mauritius. There is a petition for people to sign to ask Mauritius Telecom to enhance internet speed up to advertised speed:

Regarding internet access, yes MyT 4M works a lot better than the 1M, and yes it's congested from 6pm to 9pm but otherwise works decently. I highly recommend replacing Mauritius Telecom's dreadful modem for a Linksys or Cisco router though.

If you need less congestion, Emtel offers 2M Pro Wimax (which is what I use for work) but it's pricey (12,000 Rs / month). If money is no objection, you could hook up a couple of those to a dual WAN router and get 4M congestion-free bandwith.
