I am looking at possibly moving to Egypt, and maybe starting a business there if I can meet internet that meets my requirements for running my business since I am looking for a country with cheap labor.

1. Is it possible to get an unlimited DSL or ADSL or fiber optic line in Egypt? Also is it possible to get the speeds of minimum 100 Mb or 200 MB for home use?

2. Is it possible to get an unlimited DSL or ADSL or fiber optic line in Egypt for my business? Also is it possible to get the speeds at minimum of 100 MB or 200 MB or more?

3. What cities of Egypt have the best, and fast internet?

4. Also what is the cost of internet in Egypt?

5. Can i get DSL, ADSL, or fiber optic line anywhere or is it only in certain cities or parts of Egypt?

Hi
It is my pleasure to help you in this matter

This are the packages in Egypt
Super packages are eligible to speed up to 30 Mbps
Mega packages are eligible to speed up to 70 Mbps
Ultra packages are eligible to speed up to 100 Mbps
MAX package is eligible to speed up to 200 Mbps and 1TB of download cost 1000LE per month around $65 US

The MAX package is only available in certain areas, there is no Unlimited packages but you can always top up for around $6.5 per 100 GB

But from on the ground experience these speeds are theoretical I am on 70 mbps and the maximum I get is 26mbps

But the real challenge is the upload which the maximum I get is 4Mbps 
My mobile shows a 4G+ service on vodafone and the speed is 4Mbps and upload of 1Mbps is some areas and still showing 4G+ don't ask how?

Labour is really cheap but for cost of living you can check www.numbeo.com it is pretty much accurate.

Cars in Egypt are a bit expensive, Uber costs are average an average distance of 15kms in Egypt will cost around $5 non peak.

I hope this was helpful

Regards

Ayman
