I was just wondering what are the monthly fees to have wireless internet, and how easy/hard it is to setup?

There is no "monthly" fee for wireless internet, just like in the US. You pay a monthly fee for internet and you just set up wirless the same as everywhere in the US. It's easy.

so how much is internet on AC?

depends on connection. Call Coral Cable. $75 BZ/ connection.

Starts not too high (but basic is still at least double than the states.) I recommend no slower than the speed that's about $150 BZ/ month if you need to do any work, have it move at a reasonably fast speed, etc...

There's a new BTL Home Service that's just been launched. I used to pay Bz$175 or so for 256kbs down but that would have dropped to about $135, I doubled my spped to 512kbs for only an extra $15. Prices are off the top of my head but close(ish). They're currently running ads in the local and national press and have fliers at BTL offices.

I'm sure thats a lot more than in the States, Canada or the UK for a similar service, but then I don't have to live there thankfully, and will happily pay extra for such services that the minority want.

I have a wireless internet modem for sale for anyone using the btl phone lines for their internet, its brand new, only used a couple of months, paid 250bz for it, selling for 200bz?

Smile everyone, we are living a dream that many would like be doing. :-)

Actually, Keli, wireless internet is available in the US. Both Sprint & Verizon (and probably others) have broadband services available using their cellular networks and require only a plug-in card to your laptop/desktop.

yes, good point abou the cellular network but I didn't think that was what he was asking. I thought he was asking about wireless here in Belize...which works the same as regular wireless (not with your cellular) in the US. Same equipment, same set-up.

Sherah - what is that router? I have two, and neither cost me more than $50 in the US.

The one I have is a TELEMEX KIT. It was bought from mexico I believe. The kit has all the wires to hook up to your regular internet box. Works great, never had a problem with it.
