I'm going by memory here, but once you add in the 15% IVA that many of us forget, the cost is 1.70 pesos per call. or if you had to make 100 extra calls to stay on line that's 170 pesos per month. So often the added monthly cost for a broadband connection once you factor in all of the extra phone calls, is almost nothing. And let me tell you, once you have had broadband, you never want to go back. I'm up here in WA for another 7 weeks in the country where broadband is not available and I am stuck using a dialup connection. God I hate it, even though my download speeds here are usually about 50% faster than they are in Mexico. I even tried Satellite internet, only to learn that any satellites I could point to are behind big mountains. Well that will all change, once Star Choice's latest satellite that was just launched reaches 111.1 degrees West, and WildBlue, a US company starts providing two-way satellite coverage to the US and (Canada?) I will of course check to see what the footprint in Ajijic is once I get back.
