The internet and broadband sectors were underdeveloped for a long time throughout Côte d'Ivoire.  However, this has been addressed in recent years with the installation of a second connection cable in Abidjan in November 2011.  Access to these networks are providing significant reductions in retail pricing for wireless broadband services.  As recently as 2017, there has also been the introduction of Fiber cable options in some parts of Abidjan providing internet speeds up to 100Mbps.

For those homes which have a gas burning stove, there are many companies supplying domestic gas in Abidjan such as Petroci, Oryx, Shell, and others.  The best way to purchase gas bottles is to go to your nearest petrol station.  Each station sells their own brand by the container.

There are also some companies such as GazExpress that specialize in domestic gas delivery.

Due to the complexity of the city streets and its rapid development, the delivery of mail to your home can be a bit of a challenge.  The safest way to receive your mail/deliveries is to rent a postal box at one of the 33 branches of the Ivorian Post Office in Abidjan and pick up your mail at your convenience.

La Boite Postale: This is a postal box that you can rent annually at a cost of about 20 000 FCFA.
