Mijo Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Getting our new place at the end of the month. Who do you recommend for internet and cable? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Internet varies by the location. Those who might know best are your neighbors and experts like the Computer Guy who posts on line here. I know what is best for me in my neighborhood. But someone else in a neighborhood 6 blocks away might have a very different experience Then the question is, do you want to get your US TV programming over Satellite? If so, with a much bigger satellite dish than up north you can pick up many of the US Dish TV programs and same with Shaw Direct satellite for Canada. And the next question is, if you want to stream your TV programming, does your neighborhood offer fast enough internet. I know I didn't help you much but it all depends upon where you live. In my case I use Telmex for phone and internet and izzi the name of the cable company for backup internet and TV programming. Oh I also need a cell phone and my carrier is Telcel. Good luck and welcome to lakeside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bontepar Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Telmex is OK, unlimited calls to Us, Canada and Europe, decently fast internet, competitive rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijo Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 I guess I’m confused about Telcel and Telmex. similar but different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Does your house already have a Telmex land line telephone? You can get Telmex internet too if you want pretty slow speeds. Or consider ILOX for high speed fiber optic internet. If you have the land line, ILOX can transfer it over to ILOX so no need to continue service with Telmex. For TV, I use Dish US for about $100/mo. Satellite service in Ajijic or CP Electronics in Guadalajara. CP has a website so you can check out prices for receivers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 As Johanson said.. the location of the house is the most important thing since service quality varies greatly according to the area and asking the neighbors what they have should be the first thing to do.. Telmex tells us they will upgrade our area in october but until they do it , there is no telling if it is true or not and our reception is lousy..we have telecable as a back up and it also sucks.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orygun Duck Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I currently live in Villa Nova and have internet service from Telecable (Izzy) to stream video via a DNS Proxy. To do this I change the settings in my personal router and connect it to the Telecable modem. Telecable service has improved markedly in the past year (around 9 Mb) I am generally quite happy - except that my 500 mp monthly charge includes TV, which I never watch. If I could bundle the Internet with my existing Telmex landline, pay only 399 or even 599 mp/month, and continue to stream video, I'd be a very happy camper. The question is whether I can connect my router to the Telmex modem and still get my DNS Proxy service. BTW, I find the DNS proxy far more convenient than VPN which I only use when traveling. Thanks in advance for any responses - especially others who use DNS Proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
