Internet access in Mexico: BCS is ranked 1st !
BCS has 84% online; in Guerrero, just 49%
Baja California Sur leads the way in terms of Internet users, with 84% of its population having an Internet connection. In contrast, Guerrero is at
the other end of the scale, with just 49% of residents online.
A telephone survey of 49,600 people in all 31 states and the Federal District found Nuevo León, Baja California, Quintana Roo and Campeche were next
at the top of the connected list with 82%, 80%, 76% and 73%, respectively. In the top two states, the smartphone stood out as the device of choice
for going online. After last-place Guerrero came Zacatecas, where 53% were connected, and Oaxaca with 55%. Most
Internet users in those three states used a desktop computer to connect. On average, most Internet users spent an hour or two a day online and social
networks were the most popular destination for 20% of respondents. Facebook led the way among those networks with 74%, followed by WhatsApp with 12%
and Twitter with 7%.
Another question in the survey, conducted by Gabinete de Comunicación Estratégica (GCE), asked which was the most trustworthy source for information,
the Internet, television or newspapers.
The Internet won with 28%, television came second with 25% and newspapers trailed with 24%. “What we are seeing is a very clear tendency where the
Internet has won the battle over television, which had already won against newspapers . . . .” said Frederico Berrueto Pruneta, general manager of
GCE.
Survey respondents were aged from 18 to 50, 48% had a university degree and an equal percentage were categorized as being lower middle class.
According to the Mexican Internet Association, 51% of Mexicans have access to the Internet. Source: CNNExpansión (sp)

It does make sense that baja is higher percentage of internet, have read the average pay here is way over the mainland by a factor of at least 3.
But mainland is probably much faster speeds than us. Here in LaVentana our internet speeds are horrible... Last year during the peak many people
were at dial up modem speed. This year it appears we have more bandwidth somehow. They brought in fiber cable 2 years ago and have never hooked it
up to our dismay.
if you read telmex site they are now at 20meg download for the lowest plan and you can get 50 meg for the top. I asked people in LaPaz and there is
actually a person who now has 20 meg as of a week or so ago. that is only one. I bet on the mainland there are huge numbers of people with the
higher speed.

I do share my friend's (4x4abc) internet connection here in Centenario over a WiFi extension/antenna system. His place is a Mile away, and the
connection is good enough to watch Netflicks movies at night.
