As I previously did with research into the cheapest prepaid plans and cheapest data plans, I similarly wanted to research and share what the cheapest mobile wifi hotspot plans on the market were. In addition to fixed-line internet access and mobile data plans for your smart phone, you can also purchase wireless internet service for your home use in Mexico.Luckily, there are a lot of options out there and prices are on the decline. This is useful if the area where you live is not well-served by fixed line services or you want a back-up internet service in case your landline service goes down temporarily. Wireless home internet is not a new technology: it combines cellular data signals with a special modem that creates a WiFi signal in your home or office. You need to purchase a special modem and sign-up for a plan to access internet in this way.

The modem comes with a SIM card (like the type used in your mobile phone) but you won’t have a cellular telephone number people can dial. When you power-up your modem, it automatically picks-up the cellular data mobile signal and then creates a local WiFi network for you to access in your home in the same way that a landline-based modem does. What wireless home internet offersĬustomers purchase a special modem from AT&T or Telcel, and then take-up a monthly plan which ranges from $300 pesos to $800 pesos a month (about US$15-$40) depending on the download speed and amount of data you require per month.

If the area where your home or work place is situated does not have a telephone line or cable service installed, you can use wireless home internet to provision a high-speed internet service there, in a similar way that you can enjoy high speed internet with a landline-based service like Telmex’s Infinitum/Macronet or Izzi’s internet cable service.Some areas in Mexico –especially rural areas– may lack physical telephone line infrastructure and/or have waiting lists for physical phone lines to be provisioned, preventing you from getting a landline and thus high-speed internet.Zte mobile hotspot bandwidth monitor download#.
