description: "In the past few days, I've started about the history of a network in Cuba that is much easier to access, faster, nearly free, and doesn't seem to have censorship in place, like the normal Internet. Best of all ? It's run as a mesh, operated by volunteers in La Havana. Similar but smaller networks are said to exist in other Cuban cities and provinces.."

I've often heard about how Cuba has an Internet access that's slow, costly, and strictly censored. And while it seems to be true that [it's slow and costly](https://restofworld.org/2020/the-life-and-death-of-snet-havanas-alternative-internet/), it doesn't seem to be censured in the strict sense. But every connection you make to the network is strongly tied to your identity. You could argue that it's kind of the same in much of Europe in that regard. Connection to the Internet has also been difficult because of the [embargo imposed by the US.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli_Act)
