Internet Access In Mexico

Connecting to the Internet in Mexico is easy!

If you are traveling in Mexico, you can't swing a dead burro without hitting an Internet cafe. Computing in Mexico is common. Most Internet cafes have high-speed Internet connections these days and some have VOIP phones so you can call home for next to nothing. All first-class, and many middle-cass hotels now have high-speed Internet access, so bring your laptop. Many also have public computers in a "business center."

You can bring your laptop into Mexico with no problems. For some reason, a desktop will occasionally raise a custom's inspectors eyebrows. However, this is not the problem it used to be, so if that is all you have, you can try to take it, but be ready to pay an import fee. (The import fee, if any, will be around 10-20% of a pre-determined value).

If you are living in Mexico, you will find high-speed (DSL through Telmex is the most common, though there is cable in most good-sized cities).

If you have a wireless Internet card, chances are you will be able to hop onto an unsecured network if your hotel doesn't have a connection. I had to do this while staying at a modest hotel in San Miguel de Allende.

I even found a high-speed Internet cafe in Villa de Reyes, a very small town in San Luis Potosi state near Gogorron hot spring (see Cool Places).

Want your own affiliate program? This is the least expensive of the programs that actually work. Believe me, I have tried a bunch.

Today, most Internet cafes let you hook your laptop to their connection. Taking your laptop computer to Mexico is no problema. Computing in Mexico is a part of life now, for better or worse.

If you live in Mexico, you should have no trouble getting a high-speed Internet connection for your computer, either through Telmex or from an independent company.
