Check out https://www.cellomobile.com/hotspot-rental/cuba.html Only 17 cents per MB. and it can be had with you anywhere in Cuba.
Not cheap, but certainly cheaper than any of the USA carriers. Verizon's charge is $2/MB. Same or similar with all USA major networks, not sure why they can't negotiate a better deal.

Thanks. I have Verizon, and it currently lists voice, text, data and 2G for Cuba (maybe they haven't contracted for 3G or 4G yet with partners). Rates are crazy high: $2.99/min and $2.05/MB. This must result in some nasty surprises for the unaware. I think I'll be going with the service sillypainter mentioned, and I'll be sure to have my data turned off the whole time.

You can tell where the Wifi hotspots are (other than in hotel lobbies). You will see lots of Cubans leaning against walls or standing in the street, looking at their phones.
Very recently, the system was upgraded and more people, including casa owners, may have begun to have Wifi at home.
