ComputerGuy Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Woke up to an Internet outage (Thursday August 17). Phone is fine. I am two blocks down from Mom's restaurant, near the new Presbyterian church. Anyone else? Fortunately I can tether to my cell phone, on which I just got the new cheap data package from TelCel. This will be a good opportunity to see how much data gets used for day-to-day Internet stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 We had no internet this morning at the Family History Center in Riberas. We opened at 10 AM and still no connection when we closed early at 11:30. What a bummer for our patrons who came out in the rain for nothing.

ComputerGuy Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I had a report from Ch. Vista Norte about no Internet, so I took a new modem over and swapped it for their equally new modem. No go. And I heard from one other person, down from the 7-11 in Riberas... so if they are still out in places, they can't get on here to report it.

JayBearII Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I had a report Thursday morning from a friend in Riberas that his internet was down--he is a block or so behind Mom's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gather like that at Delicias for breakfast get together from time to time as well. Nothing to do with "work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jistme Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 This morning a guy from Telex appeared at our door in response to my Internet complaint. He fixed the problem in minutes, and gave me some useful advice.... so far so good. However...now our T.V. screen is blank ! it's not responding to the usual procedures that have always worked,sigh. We wanted to watch the last of the Olympics, and the closing ceremony, what's going on, anyone else without a picture ? This big screen T.V isn't that old, hope this is just a satellite malfunction.

Ferret Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well, those Telmex guys can eat at Mom's any time...I haven't had such good internet service on a Friday since I moved into Riberas 2 months ago. Knock on wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 My Telmex Internet was out (phone worked) from 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Thursday. I had to go out and was near Telmex in Ajijic about 11 a.m. and stopped in and they did not have any indication that it was an area wide problem or affected anyone other than my house. That was disconcerting. They took a report and told me the usual "up to 3 days to fix." But it came back on around 2 p.m. They give me heart palpitations with their "up to 3 days" routine. Access to the 'net is my work, not just play... and is a deciding factor regarding where I will live. While I have the best download speed I have seen on the lake, I am still moving to a place where I can get both Telmex and Telecable. (I have a 3G stick, but $500 pesos/ mo to keep it on standby is irritating.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
