  1. Totally agree, i now see the seafood place on carretera (nr sunrise )now closed up. Never saw anyone in there
  2. Praise when its due. I just emailed noc to get ip changes for some customers. 10minutes later confirmation email and done!
  3. Not true at all. The free ones were not affected by the incidents, they use a completely different system ! They arent websites! The ones i install have been around for at least 4 years plus i have my own proprietary app. No need for vpn and theres no antivirus required. Please get your facts straight if you are trying to to diss my service.
  4. Im not sure if it is the backbone. This slow down is only in afternoons, peaktime, and isnt in all areas. Trying to get telmex to admit it took a long time and not coming up with solutions.
  5. In sat. Myself and some neighbours got upgraded from 5 to 20mbps some 3 months ago. Worked great for a month. Then two months ago we still get 20 till about 3pm, thereafter 1 or 2. Spoken with telmex cdmex and local office many times. Thers just not sufficient capacity is the final answer. No sign of it improving. Affecting quite a few areas. We are going to try ilox. God knows whats going to happen when snowbirds get here..
  6. Some 50 plus recommendations for my system. Just on one fb page!
  7. I went in to ilox to signup. Lady in front of me had some probkem getting money back from a prepayment. One her way out she wished me good luck! Not what i want hear, but so fed up with telmex its worth a try.
  8. Smoked cod. Never had it battered but love it poached with a couple of eggs. Superlake had battered haddock in the freezer a few weeks back. Not bad considering we are in the middle of mexico. I used to get frozen atlantic cod from (hbe?) supermarket when i lived in tamaulipas. That was pretty good as well.
  9. Clearly states...la pacena. Luz at lcs is a very good optican.
  10. Really difficult to get real fish n chips in england. Whitby is probably most famous. The local places are mostly chinese owned and never the same. Although many chippies in scotland are of italian decent and can be excellent. Cod in england, with mushy peas. haddock in scotland, with a fried mars bar. Plaice occasionally or halibut was a speciality. Probably wrapping in newspaper is illegal these. La pacena can be good, but expensive. The halibut was great but i think 300 pesos for a small portion. The head waiter puts me off with his garbage stories of where the fish is from and his attitude sucks.
  11. I saw it on fb. Gringos and or everything lake chapala sites.
  12. Telmex worse than useless in the afternoon and evening. Sat. La floresta and parts of ajijic.affected. Lucky to get 2mbps. They are over extended giving us 10 to 20 to keep out ilox, peak time cant cope so they are throttling. They are failing miserably, our coto looking at the other options, we have all been told different bs stories.
  13. Had a crown done by dental express w ajijic. No problems. Also gave a free check up. Will go back.
  14. I take it they are open today? Another lakeside panic over !
  15. Think you will find its just shut for today. Although says permanently, its a common phrase used here and just means for today.
  16. You can get all Amazon prime, netfix , hulu and latest movies and tv series free using my service. Pm me for details.
  17. Nj expat. If thats the same bloke from near bp station, i had a similar experience a few years ago. Told me how great he was etc etc, couple of mins if exam, told me i was stressed, which i told him, and his verdict was to do something that i probably shouldn't repeat hear. My partner and i did know wether to laugh or punch him. Certainly never going to the new hospital under construction.
  18. I moan on many gringo prices lakeside, but to be fair 800 is reasonable. I compare prices in guadalajara and 600 pesos to see a specialist is the norm. So 800 for here isnt bad. However theres a couple who charge 1000 , 1200 .thats gringo rip off here.
  19. Forget it. Went to la terrazza and enjoyed it.
  20. Any recent experiences there or an alternative for a special meal? Thanks
  21. I read 50percent of us will get it in one form or another. Terrible disease. Lets keep battling.
