Internet has come a long way in Cuba in recent years. The biggest obstacle has traditionally been (shocker) the US embargo making undersea cable construction difficult.
Satellite remains an [expensive] option and I know they just managed to finish a few undersea cable projects regardless. I think they are around 60% of cubans having readily accessible internet now? I expect that will only continue to improve.
In all honesty, a break from the internet wouldn't hurt mots of us. While I wouldn't move there longterm probably, I didn't really miss it while I was in the DPRK.
