One of IT department priorities is to upgrade internet service.
Gradually, we have been able to increase megas received. In 2013 we received about 3 megas, during 2014 we managed to receive 10 megas.
In an effort to receive even more during 2015 we have:
Installed on main site
GUT (Universal Telmex Cabinet) for its initials on Spanish, that will allow us to receive Internet service via optical fiber, instead of cooper lines, as it is now.
Optical fiber has been installed from Puerto Peñasco to Las Palomas, for being
able to receive service when Telmex reinitiate optical fiber project.
Telmex stopped optical fiber project because of amendments to tele-communications law, and it’s expected to restart in 2015. Once project is reinitiated Las Palomas will be receiving an aver-age of 15 megas continuously.
(service provider) has been bringing equipment into Las Palomas for a quick start.
ALP, Administradora Las Pa lomas , s t rongly recommends all Phase II homeowners to make sure your patio is in opti-mal conditions before painting starts.
Please pay special to:
