    We have one of those and it has drastically reduced our gas consumption.

    Expensive though to have someone come from GDL for routine maintenance.  

    Just curious...what routine maintenance is required and how often? We've had one installed for a couple of years now and not done anything so I'm wondering if there is something I should be paying attention to.

  2. Just FYI, the white all purpose mexican flour I buy at costco is 11% protein. I've been making bread with it...very good bread both yeast and sourdough...for several years. Sure bread flour will give you a little more oven spring but for the price it's not worth it to me. I buy gluten from the El Granero and add a little of that to the mix.

    IF you want/need wifi service in your house, do yourself a favor and buy a $100 router to sit behind your fiber modem. Turn the fiber modem's wifi off and use only the router's wifi.  

    In the US my cable Internet serves up 250-300mbps wired but their modem choked at 50 for wifi. I put a refurbished ASUS RT-AX3000 wifi6 router behind their modem and now my iPads and phones purr at 250.  My TVs like it too. 

    P.S.  Make sure your device(s) will support that kine of wifi speed. I have a fairly new Samsung tablet that won't... but I mostly only use it with cellular when I am on the road. 

    P.P.S.  It's fairly unusual to see an UPLOAD speed of 250mbps even with fiber. 

    Yeah, my mistake. Should have been 250 down. Upload ranges between 120 and 150MB. Senior moment!

  4. Hard to figure this. We've had Telmex fibre for 2 years now and our upload is a steady 250MB (our contracted figure). We connect our pc's directly to the modem via Cat 6 cable. If not connected and using only wireless, we get about half the speed. I think that is because Telmex modems in general have mediocre wireless performance.

    We've made the trip to Texas over 20 times in the last couple of decades using all 4 possible routes. The prettiest and slowest was through the barrancas north of GDL heading toward Fresnillo. I think the AGS route is shorter and faster than SLP through Matehuala and less stressful except for that relatively short stretch around Saltillo.

    Everyone has their favorite route to get to Laredo. This just happens to be mine.

    Our favorite too and especially now that the new libramiento is finished. We used it in August...what a treat!

    So even if you have their credit card you are still stuck paying more for using it there?  

    When you consider the additional cost of having it that doesn't strike me as much of a good deal.

    Well, no, that's actually not correct. You pay the same price as if you were paying cash and get the benefit of the 2% for using the credit card. The poster above posted incorrect information and subsequently corrected it. We do the bulk of our shopping at Costco. With meds, groceries, wine, household items and all the other stuff we spend 75,000 to 100,000 a year at Costco so the card is of real benefit to us without even considering the fact that we no longer have to carry wads of cash around.
