Help evaluating wireless phone/modem plans Empty Help evaluating wireless phone/modem plans

Post by merry Thu Jul 12, 2012 9:08 pm

I'm moving to a new house that has two choices for Internet, both in use at the location: HughesDirect, with tepid reviews, and a Iusacell wireless hotspot modem sold out of many locations in Guad. I'm told the second is better because a cell tower is very nearby.

I was hoping there would be some kind of "unlimited" plan because I am an itinerant Internet worker and can't survive without Internet, but I would prefer to figure out my actual usage if possible and match plans that way.

Can anyone tell me how figure out what is my current actual (Telmex) Internet usage per month in MBs, so I can figure out if any of these plans are reasonable? Even a week of usage would be useful information.

TIA,
Merry

I have a Telcel contract because Iusacell does not work here and Telmex is a tight-ass organization (lots of customers or no service). Hughes Net is garbage and expensive.

My Telcel is for 10 gigs and as long as you are not on YouTube all day it will be within limits. Cost is less than $600 pesos and speed is reasonable. I assume Iusacell will be similar but coverage is all important

There IS no landline phone service where I am going, so I don't have to deal with that problem.

Does LagunaNet serve your prospective location?
Pete Johan.. might be able to help you with that possibility.

In ref to www.laguna.com.mx They have chosen not to provide service to the other side of the lake, because of reliability problems to that area because it's so far away and over water.
