Trying to Max, sorry for the slow reply, this Mexican dial up can kiss my ass! I had Mexican cable before, so slow, then, we bought Telmex DSL, it was ok. Get this though, they have 2 kinds of contracts, one is where you sign up for 2 years and they provide the modem, the other is where you buy the modem for 200 plus and pay a monthly fee and can cancel anytime, BUT, there is always a but with these bastiches, SINCE you move residences, they want you to buy A NEW FRIGGING MODEM! They underestimate the power of a veteran who receives a pension and has the power of a P/C and printer and can sit on the sidewalk in front of the TelMex office and hand out flyers of how OUR cable and DSL works, BESIDES the long distance charges that the Mexicans occur with TelMex vs doing something as simple as voice chat on yahoo or another site for FREE? Boy, can I screw them or what?
Regarding the hybrids, none are here, YET. PEMEX does NOT want them here, but the poor and middle class are slowly gaining ground, the only drawback is it is not like the U.S. In the U.S. I can pay Austin city 60 bucks for a business license, then TDOT for a dealer's license, so can the Mexicans. UNFORTUNATELY, NAFTA is BS and I have to pay a couple of grand here to do business and watch my toes with PEMEX and others. Hence, I prefer we invade Mexico and rip ass and set things straight instead of the other hemisphere. We do great with Canada, but with Mexico we give in to EVERY demand they have and are selling our country and rights away in regards to FAIR TRADE.
I'm STILL waiting on the frigging cable, but regardless, I'm going to the Hyatt in D.C. to the Disabled American Veterans conference in D.C. baby! Who knows what this crazy gringo can stir up?
