We do not recommend use of our ExpatTV service in México via Telcel or AT&T cellular Internet service. The speed is more than we need and both providers are generally very consistent – the problem is the monthly data caps. Streaming live TV consumes one to two gigabytes per hour. So even if you have the largest package from Telcel or AT&T, which is 200 gigabytes per month, you will have 100 to 200 hours per month of streaming before you hit the data cap. When you hit the data cap, they will slow your service down to 1 megabit/second, which is too slow for streaming. To overcome this, you go to Telcel’s or AT&T’s website any pay 100 pesos for another 25 gigabytes.
We have a long-time client in Chuburná, Yucatán that has no other options for Internet and uses Telcel with good success, but they have learned to “ration” their TV viewing so that they don’t hit their limit. For example, during American Football season and during Major League Baseball season, they don’t watch much other TV so that they can watch Football and Baseball.
If you have Telcel or AT&T cellular Internet service and have no better options, you may wish to consider using Starlink or a competent wireless Internet provider. See our comments about Starlink in the “Which Internet service providers (ISPs) work best with ExpatTV?” FAQ.
