Internet in Puerto Vallarta

Hope this is the right venue for this...
Does anyone know what options are now available in PV for Internet service (cable, DSL, WiMax, CDMA etc...), what the max speeds/rates are for download/upload and what the best achievable latency would be back to Toronto, Canada?

Thanks,
John

DSL and 2 cable choices - pretty much like at home. Speeds vary based on other users (cable) and distance to the CO (DSL). WiFi is widely available. No Wimax or cellular data services.

I used Cosmored and DSL WiFi last season and had no trouble with download speeds and Skype. Because I never had any trouble, I never needed to measure performance. In both cases, the service was also used by web developer companies. But it was private, i.e. not a B&B or hotel.

The offices of Proinco (PuertoVallarta.net) in Vallarta have two different ISP providers, Telmex and a cable company, Cosmored as a backup in case Telmex fails. The guys in Vallarta say Telmex has been quite reliable lately and they have not resorted to the Cosmored backup option. Do PVNet provide some sort of ISP option? They were #1 and only option when we arrived in Puerto Vallarta in 1998-99.

Thanks very much for the replies FilNurs and Poppy!

What do you think about the idea of putting up a business center for international calling using voip? Lets say that a lot of people working nearby the location came from overseas. Considering that the major market would have less knowledge about computers and internet. My only worry ,which I have not researched yet is that; ... it would appear that i would be grabbing a fraction of the market from the phone company which would be the internet service provider itself... The business would be located in a tourist spot island.

Many of the internet cafes offer cheap LD using VOIP already. I have also seen people using the free wifi and Skype on their laptops.

Are there any bandwidth restrictions in terms of how much data you can physically download / upload per month with telmex, or is it unlimited? I need to get hooked up in June and my modem usually sees fairly high levels of usage when i am not at the office :)

DSL and 2 cable choices - pretty much like at home. Speeds vary based on other users (cable) and distance to the CO (DSL). WiFi is widely available. No Wimax or cellular data services. You can actually get 3g service via telcel. You can go on a contract if you have an FM3 or you can do prepaid. They also claim to sell wireless boxes to put your card into to give the ability to operate multiple computers. I have a friend with the telcel internet card and it seems faster then our dsl connection and he has never had a connection issue anywhere!

Have you heard the Teksavvy? I use it and they are great with $40 per month. I actually gets 200 gigabytes a month of bandwidth and I have to be able to hit that.
