Also easier - internet access, calling home, watching movies at night. T-Mobile works great in Mexico, better than back home actually. 5 gigs of data per month are allowed and then the data is slowed but still allows watching Prime or Netflix with hardly any buffering. Sirius works again in Sinaloa and points north. The satellite is still positioned south rather than overhead (I can tell going under bridges) but Sirius must mask the broadcast shadow like DirecTV did.
