Hello there:

BTW,Memo is not the only one in town who does satellite service.

He only knows about residential satellite systems for tv,as far as I know he doesn't have the knowledge or expertize for an internet satellite systems,like Starband,Huguesnet,Wildblue or I-Direct wich I'm 100% positive is one of the systems that you have and wanted to have install in Rocky Point.

Feel free to contact me if you need further assitance regarding Residential and Comercial Satellite Service,Wifi and Home Theater in Mexico.

I would love to have internet at my place but all the reviews I've seen say uploads suck. Anyone got a decent referral on this?

If you can get phone service, it's relatively inexpensive to get broadband internet from the company (TelMexl???). I believe it's around $60/month for the phone line and broadband. I'm tapping in to my next door neighbor's service off his router (using wifi), and it seems to be ok. I believe the service is 3 Mbps....I don't do much uploading when down there, but my recollection is that it's decent.

There is an American that lives down there that sells wifi service all along the Miramar, down to Los Conchas and even further. Don't know the costs.....

Jim did you ever get your satellite up and working? I have wildblue in the Estero area and would like to contact whomever you used to install your system. I did the original alignment of the wildblue dish but it is time to call in the experts. Memo apparently doesn't deal with the satellite internet dishes.

Thank you in advance. P.S. being a new member I could not PM you.

Memo was of no help to me either and left me with the impression that I was bothering them. My neighbor has Hughesnet satellite internet installed by someone from Prescott. Inspite of the bandwidth restrictions he is happy. Internet can also be achieved through ATT cellphone tethering, if you have the proper device and subsciption, where the blackberry or other capable device serves as a modem. I actually have purchased the Hughesnet system but am not down there often enough to justify the subscription and actually enjoy being semi out of touch with the rat race.

Satnet info.

Did not notice this thread before but here's a link with lots of info about this service. No, I do not have it. One nice feature I did notice is taht you can 'park' your service and reduce cost when you are not in Penasco.

Did SatNet have to install a antenna for you to receive a signal?
Terry C
Jim, yes, I think it was around 150 to 200 $ installed for the roof top antenna. His signal is on Whale hill and his web site states to contact him to check for service depending where you are located.

Thanks.
