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 AT&T), 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
