  1. Based on what I'm getting with my Telmex fiber, Pete's probably getting about 4 Mbps upload.
  2. Most people are correct: make an appointment with a licensed attorney who deals with these things and not some random stranger on a webboard after happy hour.
  3. But only if the HD signals can reach this far south. The footprints of Shaw's new satellites don't reach this latitude. Shaw's services are designed to serve the Canadian market; it's a pure bonus they even have a satellite allowing a signal this far south after so many years. The future is streaming.
  4. We love their sarten crust. πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
  5. Telmex and CFE "own" the underground conduits so that no third-party can come along, run their cabling through it willy-nilly, and damage the existing - and very important - telephone and electrical lines. It ensures the homeowners are protected, not "held for ransom". Very homeowner friendly, if you ask me.
  6. I am replacing my old tube-style solar hot water heater. Worked great, but had started to give up the ghost. Over the past few months, I have had three local "reputable" solar companies give me quotes for a 150 L solar hot water system. I'll skip the gruesome details, but the first company totally screwed up the project before, during and after installation, and then tried to blame me despite the fact they inspected my entire set-up, roof, water pressure, etc. Communication was no issue as the salesman is a native English speaker and the owner an English-speaking engineer. At least I got the money back, with only minor damage to my new roof. Strike one. The second company was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and recommended. However, even after I gave the go-ahead - contingent on one small installation detail - ceased all contact unless I contacted him. I even said, "I want to give you my money!" Alas, no contact in two weeks. Strike two. My third choice, with inspection, quote and bank transfer information in hand, is GreenHome. Has anyone had any good, bad, or indifferent experiences with them regarding the Axol or Kalotron 150 L systems? Searching this webboard's history, I see that Val had a very unfortunate experience with them three years ago. Have they gotten better, or worse? I'm running out of local options... unless I'm missing someone. Thanks, gang.
  7. His latest excuse to us (many months ago) was that he needed to get transportation for his tall ladder. Never heard from him again, and we were past clients!
  8. Nope. That's just our old friend Pedro, aka Ned or Peter. Welcome back! 😜
  9. The presence of pineapple was our concern, too. If it were decent-sized and tasty it could possibly compliment certain burgers, but as it is... a small, shriveled, pineapple disk just doesn't cut it. We politely wrote this down in their notepad when the waiter asked us for suggestions.
  10. I have it on very good authority that Telmex is getting their own fiber optic installations ready, especially in the West-end. Some housing developments have already contracted for installation. This could account for the intermittent drop-outs.
  11. I'm very sorry. I must apologize. I posted while in a rude and snarky mood. It was uncalled for. You were just providing restaurant information and did not for one minute deserve my vitriol. Peace.
  12. Spatchcock! Spatchcock! Spatchcock! Sorry... I just like saying that.
  13. They changed their hours a few weeks ago. I'm on their email list. They obviously have their reasons for the time change, but cutting off that 12:30 - 2 PM crowd could prove an interesting experiment.
  14. And why not? Would it be acceptable to misspell the names of towns and cities where you come from, up North? Learn some Spanish, learn the Metric system, and know how to spell and pronounce local place names... we are in MΓ©xico, after all.
  15. If only you knew how much disdain many Tapatios have for the slovinliness of the expats. "Hillbilly" is a close translation.
  16. Gotta agree with Jonny. Leave all attachments to nice vehicles up North. Down here, I would go inexpensive and as minimally functional as needed, and purchased in-country. Parking sucks, roads suck, parking lot etiquette sucks - you will get ding-ed, sooner rather than later - and we haven't even begun to see the car jackings and thefts that will happen down here in next few years. The poverty gap is widening, and stealing a nice car is a good equalizer. Sorry to sound so negative, but don't make yourself anymore of a target with your vehicle than you already are. Get yourself something that no self-respecting car thief's wife would be caught dead driving.
  17. Getflix. 100% reliable for Netflix USA and everything else for years. The free trial is nice, but I'd just buy a month at first for a few bucks to ensure it works on all your devices. There are numerous resellers of "lifetime" subscriptions, and because of this, their website states: US Netflix is supported on every device for 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 month paid subscribers! Lifetime and trial accounts are supported on web browsers only. I just buy two years at a time. Excellent customer service.
  18. I can't speak to that, but because Telmex doesn't allow its modems to be modified in the settings menu, the DNS addresses have to be changed within the streaming device that must be connected via Ethernet. It's actually a very simple process. 😊
  19. USA Prime, 100%. Using DNS proxy, not VPN. I know what I'm doing.
  20. USA Amazon Prime Video account. 100% legal and legit and in 1080p resolution.
  21. Food and menu are just "okay" . No reason to go back with so many other better choices around town, and I live on the west-end.
