 
Undoubtedly, you will need to connect to the web during your stay
in The Gambia. Servers used to be slow dial-up are now operating
at '4G' speeds at a minimum, but can still be slow during most
of the daytime. For best results, go early in the day and save
your work or long emails often—noting is worse than a power outage
right before sending detailed email report of your adventures.
Most places have generators, but sometimes they take a few seconds
(or minutes) to kick on. Prices for surfing the web are fairly
cheap, about D20 for half an hour in most places.

This is a decent place, especially if you’re on MDI Road for classes—the
prices are the cheapest around. The bad news is this place is
rather small, has only a few computers, and is usually crowded
with school kids.
