Re: Mexico City Internet Bandwidth suggestions
Paul, If we were to take a rough poll, which one of the two, Alestra or Avantel, would get the prize for highest uptime/availability? Sorry for the delay. I installed the network as a consultant 3 or so years ago.My client's Operations staff have been extremely competent in handling it since then, so I haven't had to be involved since then. I've asked them for their input, and this is their response ... Alestra has better uptime and is better for national (Mexico) routes. Avantel has better international (especially USA) routes. Hope that helps, Brian
Re: Mexico City Internet Bandwidth suggestions
I was curious if anyone could share any suggestions and experiences with providers of internet bandwidth ranging from T1 to OC3 in Mexico City. Telmex is the obvious in-house Mexico monopoly, but was wondering if there were any other legitimate, competitive providers in the game over there. Alestra (affiliated in some way with ATT), and Avantel (affiliated in some way with Worldcom) gave us reasonable pricing (reasonable for Mexico City anyway) on E3/T3 solutions. A couple years ago they were peered with Telmex in Monterrey I think, which was acceptable given the difference in pricing (Telmex and GBLX were both *much* costlier). We got an uplink to both and run bgp. It's been fairly solid. When one's down, the other's up :) Brian
