Cable Internet in Acapulco at Telecable

Internet access is available in Acapulco, Mexico through the telephone company (Telmex) or the cable company (Telecable). At Telecable, your first month including installation will cost between US$70 and US$100. Subsequent months will be around US$60-70 for basic cable TV (includes many movie channels in various languages) and a 128K to 512K cable Internet connection, which is not very reliable. On average, the entire city of Acapulco will lose Internet connectivity twice a week for 3 to 6 hours at a time. Quality has steadily deteriorated in 2004 and 2005.

Don't bother listening to their pitch about specials - they aren't true. They charged me more each time I paid my bill in 2003 and 2004. And while their main office has the level of customer service you would expect from a monopoly, the service has improved in 2005. Additionally, their cable installation teams are excellent, friendly, and quick.

Location: The main office of TeleCable is located one block northwest of La Gran Plaza in a big blue and brown building, one block back from the Costera.
