  1. "Someone who maintains what is set up, versus a one time firestick set up." Absolutely wrong for lakeside firesticktv! Others,that maybe the case. i continuously help people who need it. First call out, if needed free. The apps are automatically upgraded, and can also be done remotely.most of the questions and fixes are done by messenger or email. Free!! the large majority of problems are internet and users not following instructions. on top of that i have stupidly answered calls upto 10pm on a Saturday snd Sunday. People wanting to know where they can find a certain movie on which channel showing a certsin football team. thats not happening any more, i jeed to rest as well. Im not a doctor! so to say theres only a one time setup and no back up is complete bollocks for my business.
  2. Some error!! From a few months to a year?? No business can survive that . Ridiculous, they should go into the open market and just buy some. Probably lose money but will keeo customers happy and more importantly any good faith
  3. Thinking of a beach holiday. Quiet, not vallarta, close as poss to lakeside by car, not too touristy.want to whale watch if my illness allows me. Just want to chill, see and listen to the sea. Decent seafood restaurants. Hotel or Airbnb with balcony and sea views. Upto 2000 pesos per night. Cg asked for something similar a few weeks ago and some good suggestions, but have searched and cant find the topic. Thanks.
  4. Yes i have heard them maybe 6 times. Certainly no as frequent as the first time. Probably the novelty has worn off.
  5. These measures are for your security and money laundering laws. Much the same as in any other country.
  6. I have been praising ilox customer service for the rapid response to changing from private to public ip addresses. However last week things changed fir the worse. I sent email as normal but this time got a response that they would review the request and get back to me. After a few days nothing. Asked my customer to try. He got same response, and still no change made. Whats to review? Its ilox who go against the grain here, all the other isp assign an public from the start. The modem story is also strange, i would have thought they buy them direct from china, Taiwan or similar. As mentioned they will surely have a broker to solve any matters, all mexican customs want is for the iva paid and any tariffs.i Why would customs say 3 to 5 months? They get the money and release the goods. There must be an alternative supplier in mexico, or usa to get through this temporarily blockage even if they paid a bit more, they would recoup this by installing now and getting peoples monthly payments in.waiting 3 to 5 months is commercial suicide. Hopefully tom can shed some light on the situation.
  7. Certain its your internet, streaming service working fine for me and others, but as promised i will get to you asap.
  8. What are you on about? Was maincoons who invited me to his end.. Infact until recently i frequented adelitas a lot. Great bar..
  9. Chapala muicipio are needing to get rid of 60 employees for 2020 due to lack of funds from the state.
  10. Im sure adelitas t finish at 10.30 or 11pm and keep music down. Dont like it dont go. And no i would like to accept your invitation. But delegado is very receptive here, but until the music plays. Nothing to do as it is more than likely wrong info.
  11. Yes i doubt the workers know. Municipio on main plaza. The locals have their own methods.
  12. Anybody here can get good local workers at non gringo inflated prices. Fair pay ,for a fair job. How many gingos pay way over the top then complain ,they dont turn up, bad work etc etc, the vast majority. They say the price is too cheap and pay 50 percent or more.this is the problem. And dont get me started on tipping locally!!
  13. Laughing boy, you dont live in sat and you have no experience with the municipio in sat. I do.
  14. I would speak with the municipio they are strict in sat about this also very helpful. Plus it seems yet again theres a special number to call as and when it starts. I can recall 2 or 3 places being closed down or forced to really limit the noise. Place in laguna mall, place near adelititas, i think adelitas as well, and an other last year. However i would double check the facts.
  15. Fast.com, speedof.me and ookla all give huge different speeds. A dev. Tried to explain to me why but got far too technical.
  16. I hope you are right, but when i spoke with mexico city he was specific, three times, that friday it would be. Fingers crossed.
  17. Neighbor just been told Friday before its back as well . Farce.
  18. My neighbours is working but on and off. Mine completely off. Top of chula vista ok, slow as normal.
  19. Yes. West side san Antonio. Called them at 6.30am normal b.s. then said was a problem in their central and would start reconnecting friday.! On the point of being very angry but whats the point? Then he said anything else i can help you with. Looks like they just lost another customer.
  20. Thing is these people have no idea they are causing it or even exists. No amount of explaining will change their ways. Anyway about the chef, who has probably now retired on her sudden stroke of luck,and living a great life in the Bahamas.
  21. Yet another case of newbies throwing their cash around willy nilly. They just dont understand what negative impact they are having on the local economy. Whatever happened to common sense?
  22. And when the mexicans only have pesos?? This is real inflation.
  23. Because many wont let go, they want this to be lala land usa, and not a small working village in Mexico . Always refer to how it is back home, prices, standards, services, law enforcement, currency, wages, tipping etc. Its mexico. Forget the states till you go back.this is a totally different culture and country. There are many who totally get involved with local charities and integrate into the culture and get to understand it, instead of being rude ungrateful and expect mexico to be like usa. I know of quite a few folk who have been here 5 years or more who have had to move back to usa, getting too expensive here. Just more evidence of over paying and thus forcing prices higher and higher for everyone !
  24. An even easier way. Take note of what the long timers on here are suggesting you pay.
