internet problems??
Posted by Linda Mandala on February 20, 2019, 9:53 am
Is anyone else having internet problems?Mine keeps going away the coming back...for the past 2 days have had it spordically and thing are taking a long time to load as well. Just wondering if it is only my problem or if others are also experiencing this. My router is quite old so I wonder if that is it. Thanks for input Linda Manala | -------------------Re: internet problems??

I've called Telmex (050) so many times in the past few weeks about internet outages that now, as soon as I enter my phone number and press "1" for internet technical assistance, a little elf somewhere automatically reconnects me. I still don't know what the problem is, but I don't have a router, just a modem. (I've also had two house calls by Telmex technicians, one inside and one outside, to check absolutely everything.) | -------------------Re: internet problems??

We’ve been having the same issues over on the beach north of the Cocodrilario. Intermittent internet and very slow speeds. We’ve called Hell-mex, and an electrician has checked the lines... He says the town's bandwidth is overloaded, and there are no plans to increase capacity | -------------------Re: internet problems??

Thanks for the input....I was thinking I might just have to replace my modem or router or whatever you call it..I am not sure what the difference is actually....but one would think Telmex must have plans to upgrade our system, with more and more people coming and wanting better internet here it only makes sense....but then....maybe we should just get out to the beach more instead????

Alas, because I work online, going to the beach more is not an option for me. This internet problem is giving me one big headache, not to mention costing me a lot of money. :-( One thing you can do is personalize your modem name and password so that people are less able to "steal" your WiFi signal. One of the little elves at Telmex did this for me over the phone. | -------------------the $10.00 free everything monthly plan is...

Yes--Boca has been plagued by this problem all winter--?due to overload? It is really unpleasant to get cut off, not have internet for long periods and generally be undependable. Es la vida.(spelling)? We try EARLY AM and that can be better. | -------------------Re: internet problems??

Do a speedtest. I use Ookla. I have the best service in days right now at an anemic speed of 1.7 mbps | -------------------Re: internet problems??

Ookla Test on north end of town. My modem is last year's Telmex standard unit. Mornings are generally good but can be pathetic later in the day. Ping 32 DOWNLOAD Mbps 2.55 UPLOAD Mbps 0.53 | -------------------Re: internet problems??

North end of town just below Larry F. We are fortunate having had no speed issues for the last 3 years since Telmex came by after we were having problems and they installed a new modem. Ping 37 Download 10.24 Upload 0.54 | -------------------Re: internet problems??

This is a normal seasonal disorder brought on by demand over- running infrastructure capacity. Having a cable connection usually little or nothing to alleviate symptoms. Speeds normally rise starting after Semana Pasqual. | -------------------Re: internet problems??
