DishNet & Wireless Internet in Jocotopec Area???

Can't Post | Private Reply
I have searced the posts with several combinations of words but have not found any information on this.

Do any of you know if Dishnet Satellite service (through M. Merryman or Satellite Service) and Wireless Internet with Laguna is available in Las Fuentes, and/or Jocotopec?

And where would one go to acquire a telephone there...Jocotopec or TelMex in Ajijic?

Due to heavy traveling and Holiday Season the old brain is just not functioning as it should be....

I'm going by memory here; I'm up north for another week. Yes Mike Merryman does offer two way broadband internet over satellite and he is a good guy. His telephone # is 376-766-1117. Two way satellite is not cheap especially in Mexico. But it will work in Las Fuentas, if you have a view of the southern horizon

Another more economcial alternative is with Lagunanet, a local internet service provider. They do provide broadband service (802.11b) to much of Las fuentes. I say much of the area because an antenna placed on your roof has to be line of site with the Laguna antenna which is located to the West of the entry to Las Fuentes on the lake side of the main road leading to Joco. Lagunanet charges $450 for most installs, and then charges $40 per month for a 256 kb/sec up and down connection and $60 per month for twice that speed. Their # is 376-766-0297 from 9 to 3 PM . Or you can email support@laguna.com.mx Their webpage is www.lagunanet.net.mx

Both tel #'s given above are in Ajijic
