Internet service between TJ and Baja Mar
WL COM now offers high speed internet access between tj and baja mar. They use directional antennas to relay the signal from the US and down the
baja coast. It cost $125 for setup and $30 a month. Our antenna points to plaza del mar and it's relayed to calafia from there. The service is fast
but has a glitch and doesn't respond every now and then. All in all, well worth the cost. Its a lot faster than telnor dsl.

Welcome
before you get much of a response to your postings, let me be one of the first to welcome you and accuse you of something nefarious. Some of the
Nomad Nobility will have beaten me to the punch, but apparently they are preoccupied with other threads.
Here is the condemnation you should expect...WHAT IS YOUR PART IN THIS NEW INTERNET ENTERPRISE THAT YOU ARE PROMOTING?
There, it is over now, welcome to the board.

Download is around 4000 kbps, upload 500-750 kbps. I suspect the response the throughput would get better the closer you get to the border.
The only role I play in the Internet service is a customer.
Thx for the warning.

Have you tried the service with internet phones or internet fax machines yet?

I've tried Vonage and it works fine most of the time. Every once in a while the service hits a glitch and stops responding. When that occurs the
Vonage starts getting choppy or the voice of the other person starts slowing down.

I use Magicjack , it works great
I was the one that contacted wlcom to come to this area because I had telnor satillite and hated it. I heard about wlcom from a friend in Rosarito.
Their equiptment is on the roof of one of our top condos. It goes out everyonce in awhile especially in heavy fog or rain but for the most part it is
a pretty stable force,k

Thanks for getting them down here and the info on the fog & rain. That explains a lot. How long have you had the service?

Ispeer, your link is not working (http://wlcom.com.mx/). Are they still in business?
Thank you.

Quick Speed is the best it is a $150 initial setup charge and then $35 a month charge payable online to Fisher Group. I am in a low lying area where
Telnor is spotty and this internet service is always reliable and fast. I am between Bajamar and Rosarito.
