I decided to go to Telmex today to check out my options armed with what my current contract offered I terms of speed and cost. You will need a photo ID and a telephone line with Telmex. The entire negotiation took less than 20 minutes (including the short wait after taking a number for your turn). I walked out with my new modem/router and easy installation picture instructions. I will see how easy when I try to do it and, if all the green lights come on, I will be connected on Tuesday.
Everything was conducted in English and no money changed hands as your new internet service is added to your telephone bill. My current phone bill is approximately $600.00 per month (I have a cell phone user in the house) and I was spending an additional $399.00 per month for internet. My savings per month are $400.00. I also have Skype so we are made in the shade as it were and a far cry from our original dial up service which echoed all through the house.
