Wired internet from Puerto Vallarta, beamed across the water to your door. Our towers run on sun and batteries, so a blackout in Yelapa doesn't take us down. Installed by our own technicians, and a local team that answers when you call.
Starlink is a good product for remote ranches and boats. In a village of palms, hillsides, salt air and summer storms, a local network with a local team simply works better, and costs less.
One installation fee of MXN 5,000 covers the antenna, a Ubiquiti WiFi router and installation by our technicians, and the equipment is yours. A Starlink kit costs about the same (MXN 4,999 to 7,599), you mount it yourself, and busy zones can add a demand surcharge.
Our technicians live here, speak Spanish and English, and come to your house. With a satellite company you open an online ticket and ship hardware back and forth.
Five internet lines, two providers, two hubs and automatic failover. In July 2025 a software fault took Starlink offline worldwide for about two and a half hours, and nobody local could fix it.
Every tower in the bay runs on its own solar panels and batteries, so when Yelapa loses power, the network keeps running. Our antenna at your house draws only a few watts, so a small UPS keeps you online for hours. A Starlink dish draws tens of watts and drains a backup much faster.
Cash, Mexican bank transfer, Mercado Pago or PayPal. You get a reminder a week ahead and five days of grace. No foreign card required.
Every peso pays local technicians and builds a better network for Yelapa, Quimixto and Las Ánimas, rather than leaving the country.
What you pay in your first 12 months, in pesos.
You save in your first year, and about every year after.

| Yelapa WiFi | Starlink | |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | MXN 5,000 once: antenna, WiFi router and installation by our technicians. You own it. | You buy the kit (MXN 4,999 to 7,599) and mount it. |
| Where it works | Your antenna only needs to see one of our towers. | Needs a wide, open view of the sky. Palms cause dropouts. |

| Paying | Cash, transfer, Mercado Pago or PayPal, in pesos. | Online card payment. |
| Late payment | Reminder 7 days ahead, then 5 days of grace. | Service is paused if the charge fails. |
| Power cuts | Towers run on solar and batteries. Our antenna sips a few watts on a home UPS. | Dish draws tens of watts; a home UPS drains fast. |
| Video calls | Wired backbone just across the bay keeps delay low and steady. | Good most of the time, with short drops as satellites hand off. |

We've rebuilt the network so every village has more than one way out. Our routers watch each link and switch over on their own, then alert our team so we can fix the broken path.
From two different providers, so one outage in town doesn't take the bay offline.
