Broadband in Neuvo Progreso Mx
We sponsor two girls from a family in Neuvo Progeso so they can go to school. We are looking to provide them inexpensive internet access. Was wondering if anyone knows of an internet usb stick ...

Reality check, Mexico.
Cities, tourist hotspots, and wealthier regions of Mexico have good Infinitum TelMex service. Rural areas like where I am, have service so bad they would not last two weeks in the USA without getting sued by class action suit and fined by the FCC for fraudulent service.
Banda Ancha quality (speed and reliability) for TelCel USB sticks, has exactly the same variance. Some areas are decent, other areas are less than marginal. I have never heard of someone using a non TelCel "Banda Ancha" USB as TelCel provides them (sells) it with the service.
TIP: Wherever and whatever the stick MUST have a line of sight view of the cell tower broadcasting Banda Ancha. I use amplified USB extension cables and place the Banda Ancha stick inside a window looking directly at the tower. The stick refuses to work when the signal has to pass through a thick concrete wall.
Hope this helps
Thank you MEXICOWANDERER You make some excellent points, perhaps that is why the family often say they are having internet problems when we got them the stick and service from Telcel previously. As Neuvo Progreso can in no way be considered a City, that may explain it.
This is good information for us to have, and we go back in March will have to look for the tower(s).
It is so hard when we don't speak Spanish, and although we are trying, it does not come fast enough or complete enough for us to function well with internet vendors etc. That's why I was hoping something from the US side would function.
