Moviespace sold out four of their theatres for the live broadcast of Porgy and Bess. An excellent performance by the way. I didn't imagine there were that many opera fans Lakeside SunFan

I went to visit the lighting store in SAT beside the Sunrise Restaurant and it was GONE. Does anyone know if they've moved or are out of business and can anyone recommend a favorite lighting store? TIA SunFan

The Lake Chapala Society English language Library might be interested. SunFan

Going to visit the Opal mine in Magdalena next week. Any suggestions on things we should do or avoid? TIA SunFan

I'm OK with ilox up the hill in Chula Vista. SunFan

The whole project is just insane. A bike lane as wide as the ones for cars and trucks? Left turns and buses stopping now impede traffic? As Happyjillin pointed out - what happens when an ambulance can't pass because traffic is backed up in both directions and cars can't get off the road? SunFan

Is that wifi in the home or an ethernet cable to the modem? SunFan

70 Mbps is at the modem. Wifi deteriorates the signal to 40 Mbps. Ilox and Telmex modems are apparently poor quality and broadcast a weak wifi signal. SunFan

That was powerful. SunFan

In the eight years I've lived down here I would guess; (and I mean guess) - gasoline and propane have doubled in cost - restaurant meals are up 60 to 70% - groceries are up 50% - I don't know about rents. I own but electricity and water are probably up 50% - property taxes up 20 to 30 %. and as tycobb said all of this offset by the peso decline SunFan

Another vote for Nord VPN SunFan

and the Police will be in the Walmart parking lot soliciting donations as well. Be generous, they are not paid well. SunFan

I'm the Upper CV customer Computerguy is referring to. After 8 years of 1.6 Mbps "service" from Telmex I can't tell you how delighted I am with the lightning ilox speeds. I have three other neighbors on my street who report the same speeds. I have experienced one outage (a slowdown to Telmex speed) a week ago. The ilox NOC responded in literally seconds and the issue was fixed in a couple of minutes. Impressive technical support. I could use some feedback from other ilox customers. I've heard their VOIP phone service is a bit spotty and before I port my Telmex number and cancel their service I wanted to hear that ilox now had fully reliable phone service. Any feedback please? SunFan

Yup definitely Upper Chula Vista where I too used to suffer with 1.6 Mbps speeds from Telmex. Even YouTube would buffer. Now I'm Netflixing with 30 mbps with ilox. Whooohooo. SunFan

Sounds like that ends my hope of saving my Canadian number. I think I'll just bail on MJ. SunFan

MJ didn't suggest a charge would be involved. They kindly said they regretted losing me as a customer. Lets see what happens when ilox is asked to port a Canadian number. I haven't cancelled MJ yet. SunFan

Que Ganga is located just East of the El Ancla restaurant in West Ajijic.

Beautiful. Thank you. SunFan

Tom says there are two phone jacks on the bg modem. Hope that helps RickS. SunFan

Painfully I got confirmation from MJ that I can port the Canadian phone number I've been using for eight years over to ilox. I can finally dump MJ which has gotten quite expensive over the past few years. Telmex's dial-up grade service here in Chula Vista also made it sometimes difficult to use. I just changed my MJ password over to a six digit PIN anticipating the port. The savings will go a long way for ilox billing. SunFan

To clarify, as I understand it, iLox offers subscribers two phone lines. I wanted to port my existing Telmex number to one and my existing Majic Jack number to the second line. That is if I live long enough to experience installation. I'll call Majic Jack and post their response. SunFan

Ah but it's advantageous to have what appears to be a local number when you're dealing in my case in the Toronto area. SunFan

mexjerry, many thanks for the update. I never disagree with Mike the Computer Guy, mainly because he's bigger than me. SunFan

I wasn't clear. I want to port the Majic Jack phone number over to ilox as my second ilox number. SunFan

I've seen this topic posted weeks ago, buried in a long thread but damned if I can find it. Can anyone advise on the procedure? My Majic Jack number expires in three weeks and the renewal cost is $50 USD which pays a few months of ilox service. TIA SunFan
