broad band cable or DSL in Oaxaca

Can't Post |

Does anyone here know if either of these internet connection services are available in Oaxaca? Also, if they are available, how long does it take to get connected (get the service installed), and how does billing work: flat fee, by the minute, . . . . ? Thanks.

According to this page DSL is available, as a last resort. Though in Morelia cable is waaaaay more economical than anything from Telmex.

$275/month for about 80 tv channels & 64kbps cable, connected 24/7. Higher speeds are available of course. Telecable has changed their rates, its gone down for residential and skyrocketed for commercial service, for anyone interested. As far as I can tell you're going to have to pay $3000 to have your DSL installed, Telmex makes you buy the modem, whereas the cable company here just charged me a $1500 deposit..

In Morelia two companies offer cable, as far as I know, and they are Telecable and CableMas. CableMas is definately in more cities across the country, I don't know about Telecable, which is what I have. But seeing as you haven't gotten any specific responses from anyone in Oaxaca yet, maybe this can help your research a little....

I just moved and had my internet reinstalled, yesterday. The night before I went to Telecable and told them my new address, and the next morning at 11 oclock they were here installing it. I was very impressed. I wouldn't count on service like that from Telmex.

Ok I know I'm not in Oaxaca, but maybe this can get you started, if you look up these companies and maybe call them.
