Bisbee Gal Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I use Ilox but just checked Telmex after reading this thread. Telmex working here Ajijic Centro. Maybe it was down and came back? We have always had 2 internet providers and likely always will. Centro Ajijic on Independencia near Pedro Moreno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Internet down at 430pm in Central Ajijic, on Hidalgo 2 blocks west of Plaza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I too have had at least two options for internet once they became available. Oh Lagunanet was the first lakeside ISP which first started providing dialup internet in approximately May 1997 followed by Telmex infinitum a coupe of years later followed by Telecable, etc Etc. In the past Telmex Infinitum was pretty reliable, but lately it seems to be going down every 3 to 5 days. I hope this is not the new normal of Telmex. Should my backup, IZZI cable also go at the same time, II can always use my Telcel iPhone hot spot as a back up, but that hasn't been needed for several years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call dropped Well if you had an ILOX phone line it would be normal for 1/2 of my calls to have dropouts and hangups. The internet is great but the phone is so bad we are using a cell phone as no telmex phone lines available in our area. Just warning folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 I am trying to remember what life was like before cell phones and internet, but I need the internet to find this out. ☺️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so much Belt and Braces to satisfy you staying here, you sound that you are leading a complicated life style...... not wishing or able to forget all the conveniences you left behind So what if we loose communication with the outside world for a day, what if have no water for a couple of days, or loose electricity for a day because the birds have sh*t on the line or the wind blew the wires together, or just received your Christmas cards in April etc etc ...Relax, this is Paradise enjoy it Mexican style , Manana, Manana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are too funny.Lakeside7. I have been coming down each winter since 1997 when I only stayed 4 months. Now I am here up to 9 months per year. Oh, I go up three times per year now down about a month at a time. I am so used to things breaking down here, that I have several backups for most things. Heck in the 90s the water would go out for up to a week at time. The original builder of my property in 1985 when outages were even longer than a week built my largest aljiba which holds enough water for about 3 weeks. Oh my power never goes out either because I have solar panels in the day and at night my backup power is provided by 8 deep cell trojan golf cart batteries that are charged in the daytime. I love it here. And it's also fun to explain to someone like you why I have backups for most everything. It's more fun that way And of course having worked at the first ISP, lagunanet, I am a computer nut. Oh, have a great weekend Lakeside7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Here in central, lower SAT, ILox as strong as usual at almost 100 download speed, however Telmex phone (that I had struggled mightily to restore because of the ILox phone problems covered here) is now out. Also in my 12 years at this same location I have never, never had any water problems that seem to be happening elsewhere in SAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tepetate Thai's landline was working at around 5pm when I called in a take-away order. They are on Hidalgo, a few blocks west of plaza. Though I guess it's possible they are on Ilox with a 766 exchange?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Bisbee Gal most Telmex internet outages that I have experienced have not impacted the Telmex phone line, just the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I got that message too, but in my case I got the message at about 7:20 PM And now when I look up at my Telmex modem, I can see that Telmex Infinitum is working again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNo5 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 It seems that it is like this every day -- out until about 5;00pm. I guess I can live with that as long as it comes on each day. Still it seems like it should be available all day, every day. However, access in the evening is better than NO access. IMHO The internet is a mystery -- like so many other things in Mexico.

Ferret Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Bisbee Gal, 765 and 766 are Telmex exchanges and the area code for both is 376. I think that iLox numbers are 102... don't know for sure because I opted out of the iLox phone based on reports here of dropped calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
