For my first nine months in Mexico, I've relied upon the local public Internet initiative, Culiacan Digital, for my home wireless Internet service, but lately there have been a lot of issues with it (their DNS server seems to be dying). So I will need to switch to a private service such as Megacable, which I have been reluctant to do because the prices sound pretty high. I have been told by other expats that the providers here in Culiacan only offer bundled packages - Internet, cable TV, and landline phone at about 1,000 pesos per month - but I am only interested in the Internet service. (I use my TV to watch DVDs, but feel my life is actually better without cable!)
Have any of you been able to get Internet service only? I am told that different speeds are offered; have you found that it makes a substantial difference to get the top speed? I'm not playing video games or anything high-bandwidth like that; the most I'll do is watch YouTube videos (and even with the high-speed service at my job, YouTube and other streaming video sites often work very poorly here).
I'm perfectly open to wiring my laptop at home for better (and cheaper?) service instead of using a wireless router.
Any input is most welcome.
