Is the internet included in the Homestay Fee?
Homestay Hosts will provide you with Internet Access as part of the Homestay Rental. However, this is meant for communication and educational uses only. There may be limits on downloads.
If you need a larger download quota, you can arrange your own wireless broadband account, at your own cost, to complement the internet access provided by your homestay.
