Internet In New Caledonia

New Caledonia has an excellent Internet service.

Internet cafés in New Caledonia are seriously expensive compared to Australia, the US, France, etc. Expect to pay about AUD$8 to 12 per hour.

The BEST deal, if you have a WiFi notebook, is to get a week's open ended high speed WiFi connection with i-Net. This works a treat on the Visitor's wharf in Port Moselle so if you need to spend some time online that's the way to do it. Now you can also get WiFi coverage at anchor in the Baie de Orphelinat from the i-Net transmitter at the CNC fuel wharf (where you can also buy an I-Net card).

If you only need to get your email and minimum browsing you can do it while cruising without an ISP account using your mobile phone if you purchace a pay-in-advance GSM Carte Liberte (a sim card package for your mobile phone) and a pay in advance Carte iZi.

The Carte iZi is one of those "call from any phone" code cards - which includes your mobile phone AND a very low cost Internet connection allowing you to connect for only 4.5 cfp per minute (very cheap for here). BUT also pretty slow. The advantage here is that you can hook up from your boat just about anywhere near a population center along the coast of New Caledonia - and even in remote areas if you happen to be in line of sight of an antenna.

As a helpful hint, in some anchorages surrounded by hills it helps to use a blue-tooth or WiFi connection between the phone and your computer and hoist the phone up to the top of the mast.

If you plan on cruising in New Caledonia on an extended basis you can get an "always connected" GPRS plan from OPT for 10,000 cfp per month (GPRS data only - voice is extra). Arrange this at the OPT commercial office in Noumea.

There are also many Internet Cafes around Noumea within easy walking distance of Port Moselle Marina and the Cruising Guide to New Caledonia will show you exactly where they are.
