  1. At the Wednesday Tianguis the vegetable  vender towards the end of revolution on the left hand side right beside the people who sell blankets, usually have it.  If not, further down the street the last vegetable vender on the right hand side may have it.  It is very fresh and sometimes even includes tiny snails, so wash and soak and rinse several times.

    Are you saying all your computers were off and you don't have any smart TVs or anything connected to the wifi? If you have left a computer on and it has connected to the modems wifi, it may be infected with malware. As alongtheway mentioned, you should whitelist the devices that are allowed to connect to the wifi, of course making sure it has a secure password and the wifi is WPA2 (the default minimum of most modern wifi routers). I don't know anything about your modem but if you are an experienced user, you could try Wireshark to catch the data hog.

    Yes, all computers, TV, cellphones, tablets, ebook readers were either powered off, or wifi were turned off.  The one that stumps me was when noone was home which means there were no devices in the house (we all took our laptops, phones) we still lost data.

    My cell phones sucks MB day and night, whether awake or in sleep mode. There are many apps that provide constant notifications, and check regularly for updates, and so on. Many are intrinsic to the operating system of the company that made the phone, and cannot be uninstalled, but can often be disabled. I make judicious use of the ability to use only WiFi when at home and only data when on the road, but there are a number of confusing settings, and they are different for ever brand and even for every model within a brand. My own phone is set so it never updates a: unless I tell it too, and b: only when I am on WiFi. At this moment, there are 125 updates "waiting".

    It is very difficult to access someone else's WiFi without having the right tools, and sitting outside your house with a laptop and using those tools... none of which are easily available and some that case thousands of dollars. It is doubtful that any fly-by-night WiFi thief can do that, or would care enough about your specific WiFi location to even try.

    I recommend you dig through ALL the settings on your phone, using Google when you need help with any particular one.

    I might add that 100MB is not much at all when videos and voice chat is involved.

    Thank you but it's not my phone.  It is their internet at home service via a modem.  Oops sorry, it's 100 GB plan that I am on.

    I've had everyone turn off their Telcel connection and only use infinitum for  this past three days and I am still losing data like crazy!

  4. Last month, for the first time, we exceeded our 100MB on our Telcel internet at home plan.  This happened three weeks into the month.  So this month I have been monitoring our usage, turning off the modem at night, asking everyone to log off their devices and use infinitum (we have both).  Yet, the data is still being consumed!   I log into mitelcel and take a screen shore of our data balance.  I turn off the modem and in the morning our balance went down by 60 MB.   Yesterday was the worst, noone was home and we left the modem on and it went down by 30GB, yes giga bytes with noone in the house. Our closest neighbor is 200M away. 

    Could someone give me some insight as to what may be happening?  I plan on going to Telcel later and asking them but would love to hear some thoughts from others. 

    Thank you. 

     

     

  5. I just saw on Amazon Mexico that they are now offering Amazon Prime.  The promotional rate is 449 pesos for the first year and 899 there after and includes free 2 day shipping for items shipped from Mexico and free 6 to 9 days shipping for items shipped from the US, no minimum amount to qualify but of course this is only for items marked as prime eligible. Also included is Prime videos.  Plus as always, free 30 days trial.

    I see more spending in my future.
