johanson Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Yesterday morning as I was coming down Colon from the north or mountain side of the Carretera to the Carretera I saw someone on an electric pole installing some type of cable on the south or lakeside of the Carretera. Sadly I could not see more as I was turning left and there was traffic behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just to update... spoke to one of the workers who spoke good english. The fiber optic being currently installed is being done so by Izzi. I took it they are upgrading for the hospital being built and it will be available to all of lakeside within 6 months.

.Colibri. Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 They are outside my house this evening in Riberas. I spoke to them and they told me it is Telecable, has nothing to do with Walmart or the new hospital. It is being wired from Ajijic to Chapala, and Telecable hopes to have it completely up, functional, and available to the public in a couple of months. Looks like Ilox may have some competition if this pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Their plans seem alright. I hope it pans out? Yay competition! https://www.izzi.mx/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Competition is good. On the other hand, telecable has burned a lot of people with their attitude and inefficiency of service over the last few years, even after it was taken over by Izzi. Once bitten, twice shy?

SoxFan Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'm wait and see with Izzi and Ilox. I'll sign up to the better service. I'm sure there will be complaining on here if either suck. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay competition! https://www.izzi.mx/home I looked at the details of one of their packages, I may have it wrong but I think in order to have Wi-Fi one has to buy another box for 700 some odd pesos. Telecable, (Izzy), is mainly a television provider whereas Ilox is basically a telephone and internet provider. Being that businesses are their main clients I would think they have better experience in providing the service. Time will tell. They had a big sign up yesterday in Ajijic.

NLU Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I probably would try for next 6 months awaiting Ilox even though I most likely have to have 12 month contract. BUT according to city dropdown menu, not available here Yet, anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 If it were Telmex putting in fiber optics I would get excited but with Telecable (Izzy), their cable internet in downtown Chapala (and I just live a block over from their office) is so terrible and unreliable, how do we know if their fiber optics will be any better? But I guess that it will be a definite improvement and only time will tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixonge Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Saw a Telecable truck on Constitucion a couple of days ago - crew was running a big green cable overhead - no idea what it was exactly - they were headed towards La Floresta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb46 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Fiber optic cable was installed in lower LaFloresta serveral months ago by workers in Telmex trucks. I know that central Ajijic already has fiber optic service but have not been able to learn when Telmex will make it available to residents of lower LaFloresta. Telmex has been unable to provide any information. Does anyone have an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Everybody says there is fibre in central Ajijic. I have never seen it anywhere, and I have never had a customer who has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
