Tell us about the first time you used wifi

Whether it was at home with family or in a public space with friends we’d like to hear your experiences from Cuba or anywhere else
  
  


In 18 public parks across Cuba everyone has the opportunity to contact loved ones, explore social media, upload photos and find internet dates thanks to ETECSA – the only telephone company in the country – installing wifi routers in 2016. For many Cubans, this meant being able to go online for the first time.

The documentary Conectifai - meaning ‘Connection’ - shows how one of these wifi parks in Havana has become a new social meeting place, as every day crowds of people with smartphones, tablets and chairs turn up to cluster together around the wifi antennas.
