Thanks for the tests, I cannot believe I'm in one of the most "modern" cities in Mexico and I'm paying the same as in the states, yet here in Mexico I get "dogsh*te" and in Texas Leda is getting almost T1 capability at home and at work with high speed roadrunner!

I've been doing research, from what I am getting so far, U.S. and Canadian cable companies CAN invest and build a cable network in Mexico. I need to e-mail the Mexican Sec. of commerce and trade to get a confirm though. Pirating has been their biggest problem here, but the laws are getting stricter as Mexico is trying to get modernized, and I know for a fact that TW has the capability to know when and where a line is spliced for pirating. They got so much high tech equipment, they can see the status of your modem and loss of bandwidth to your modem, all from the company office!

Bandwith Place say:

3.3 megabits per second
Communications = 3.3 megabits per second
Storage = 397.2 kilobytes per second
1MB file download = 2.6 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome

I reckon this means I can choke on spam quicker than most.

Communications 43.7 kilobits per second

1MB file download 3.2 minutes
Subjective rating Slow

Your Internet speed: 2250 kilobits per second.

1288 dl speed

But only

Is another place...

I listed at

136570

I don't know how I get these speeds though, since my connection isn't actually all that terribly fast at my location!

Strange...

The 111 upload was more what my speeds probably should be...

I envy you guys. Down here in Toronto, Canada, I only have Rogers (Cable) and Bel (DSL)l to choose from.
Rogers consider the speed that I'm getting to be acceptable for "service as is".

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/525035;370885;b21a34ea7f9bdb3a0f8b40166eaaef06;2.0;speedtest.cogeco.net/1078967357

There are a lot of people that aren't even getting half of the advertised 3 mbps and the funniest thing is that Rogers is actually coming out with a new package that gives us 5 mbps when they can't even deliver consistent 3 mbps to their customers.

Too bad we're stuck with Rogers here in Toronto since there's no other cable ISPs here.

That what all the Tech's told me. 10-25 years.

Cable TV did try and quit a couple years ago. Step in my area, and you will think you went back 50 years. Miles of Corn with nearly a neighbor in sight.

Digital wires in 15 years. Thats the estimate, I got from a tech friend for sprint. That services our area. I tried IDSN and was slowed down to "dial-up" speeds. Due to our archaic copper wires.

And in my area there is little demand for "Broadband". One tried a years ago and quit. Out of 1000 people called in my area Me and five people stated they wanted Cable Broadband. The rest stated "no".

Wireless though might be something to look into though in a couple of years.

You might luck out in get the utility line form of broadband. It requires no new infrastructure to speak of.

msnevil · « **Reply #31 on:** March 10, 2004, 08:41:22 pm »

ultility line? What is that?

Stormbringer · « **Reply #32 on:** March 10, 2004, 08:51:21 pm »

They can do broadband over power lines. Power lines are ubiquitous. The modem picks up the modulated signal carried into your house with your electricity. Just requires a special modem and of course a service provider to modulate and demodulate the signals and act as a node.

2118 kbps, Not Optimized

Not only that but our govt is promoting this form as an afordable alternative to us poor deprived poverty stricken folks. Pilot programs in Ohio (IIRC). The Europeans are doing this in the UK (again IIRC.)

Frigging Mexicans and their stupid arse cable companies that are ten years behind! Where is "free trade?" Where are the business opportunities for American and Canadian cable companies?

So, I found this tool, it tests your internet speed. I tested mine, and I get only 200 Kbs. So I ask Leda to test ours in Austin since we use roadrunner by Time Warner Cable. Her results? A whopping 2200 Kbs! Damn near T1 on the graph!

I'm curious about what people get from all over the world, so please take a moment and visit this site, and post your results. I'm madder than Hades as they charge 40 bucks (same as roadrunner) yet piss poor speed and service. The cable company here will really hate me upon my return, as I'm buying a printer and printing the site and go door to door and ask them to ask their friends all over the world to do the same and see how they are getting bufued with their internet services just like PEMEX does with their dirty and high priced gasoline. Then they can call their cable company and demand better service.

http://theboost.net/active.htm

Click on the purple words "try active speed today" (it will NOT download anything), and will give you test results in a few seconds.

Free trade my arse, Time Warner cable could really rake it in here in Mexico, as well as their stocks would skyrocket from the millions of new customers! 104 million potential new roadrunner and cable customers.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to seeing some results.

Your Internet speed: 795 kilobits per second Sat.

You know, it will take at least 25 years. In most estiments before "country" people like me. Get Cable\Roadrunner\dsl etc. Service.

In my area. 10*10 square mile ='s 2,000 people. In mexico city, There is 26,000,000 people in a 10*10 square mile radius called Mexico City.

20 people per square mile vrs. 260,000 people per square mile.

Which one do you think Is the better investment?

So freaking 2nd world countries will have DSL before me.

I'd take any results from a speed test provided by someone trying to sell you a speed enhancer with a grain of salt, man. Its giving me results well below what I know to be true. 384 K/s. This is impossible because I reach download speeds of around 120k/s.

Try DSL Reports Speed Tests orBandwidth Place .
