here is the guy to talk to...
he's in Ensenada but the installer is in mulege today
6461360495
or email
hamit_parral@hotmail.com
the cost is $440usa for the equipment
$210 for the install
service is $60usa a month
activated in mexico not the usa
i'll make a video showing the speed difference as soon as I can
its nice to have real internet speed again
we did a test last night using video Skype
WOW...it worked when hughesnet would never work
very clear with no breakups...NONE
my next trip north I may need to buy a "magicjack" plug for telephone service
the ONLY problem now will be that I MAY use more data download time watching videos...I'll have to be careful with my use

I've never had to worry about the number of bytes I use. What do you get for $60 per month?

we get 10gigs for $60usa a month
what does that mean?
hughes gives you 300mg a day then you are FAP'ed
for 30 hours
this service is about the same per day...but has a monthly limit
instead of a daily limit
there is a bar to check your "data left" amount
we'll see how fast I can burn data

my daughter says its about the same as her wireless data plan in the USA
she says we'll be able to watch about 5 movies a month
...I don't know yet
mono if you use 10gigs in three days then you are streaming music and videos 24-7 : )
bottom line...its about the same download of data as hughesnet for $30usa less a month
and ALOT faster speed
the company hughesnet lies to me all the time...their support too
the ONLY honest straight/honest talkers have been the installers that have to FIX the hughesnet problems...the rest are horrible
so far so good

Interesting,, both dish's are pointed pretty much the same.. I would guess they don't have their own Satellite and are buying bandwidth from Hughs or
someone else... as several in the states do...
Hughs has at times done the same as Telmex Infinitum they oversold what their capability were..
Our hughs downlink was pretty good in Colo but the up had some delay...
Wildblue was one that came along and used Hughs satellite also..
Our biggest problem with Hughs was the FAP and usually we did it at the first of the month when we needed to pay bills.
Will be interesting to watch and see how this works out...

I just checked our data usage here in San Diego - we use around 5-6 GB/day with a high day of 48 GB on the 11th - Xbox live (son) eats up the data!

One movie downloaded in 1080p is between 1 and 2 GB, add software updates, VOIP calls, music streaming, app downloads, photo uploads to cloud storage,
guests with iPhones iPads laptops, etc., and it adds up pretty quick. We used to have Tecel banda ancha with a 10GB a month limit, and never once made
it to the end of the month and we were careful not to stream video. Now we are fortunate to have a wireless service here (BajaConnect) that beams
access from Telmex wirelessly without limits.

Many thanks for all the info, Bob and Susan.
Also very interested to know how far south it will work. Did the installer or the Ensenada guy have any info about that?

Exede uses a ViaSat Satellite. We have had them for several months and the only situation we had was that the credit card we were using was updated
and we didn't let Exede know. One phone call and it was taken care of. Great service. We are located south of Ensenada. They have a great web page
that allows you to see what your usage is. Easy to navigate. We don't use much streaming seeing we have Direct TV and can order up films through that
service. ViaSat has announced a deal that would greatly expand it's coverage
area.https://www.viasat.com/news/viasat-and-eutelsat-enter-first-kind-agreement-link-high-capacity-ka-band-satellite-networks.

Bob, try to take advantage of the free night zone between midnight and 5:00 AM. Any data used up/down, does not count against your plan. You might
need to download software to schedule your movies to be recorded to your hard drive and watch them later at your convenience. Mozilla has one and
there are many others out there.

I have had Infinitum for the last year and at 6 in the morning we would get speeds of up to 1.8 and we thought that was lightning speed compared to
Hughes. But by 9 in the morning it was usually down to .8 or lower and when it dropped below .6 it would not do much. So the technician comes to my
house today, installs the dish ( I figured if it is good enough for Bob it is good enough for me cause he is really sharp and thorough) Well it jumps
to 3.8 which is faster than I have seen south of the border. I am ecstatic. I will keep the Infinitum and use it early mornings cause I don't have
to worry about the FAP. but this thing is really fast and here we are at 4:30 in the afternoon.

10gig
Wow 10 gig is 10240 MB and when you divide that by 30 days you get 341.3333 mb per day!!
What happens if you go over the 10 gig ??

Exceed is part of Wild Blue Yonder we have it in far east San Diego county its great we get very close to our limit. If you go over they reduce your
power. But you can purchase more and customize it to your usage. we really like it.

Exede Internet Service in Punta Chivato, BCS
We had Exede installed 3/18 , Wed. by Tech Issac. The install and setup took about 2 1/2 hours. We are seeing upload speeds of 1.5 to 3 Mbs and
Download speed from 12 to 19 Mbs...just as advertised. We can now use our Netflix account. It is just what we needed here in Chivato!
