Telmex Internet - something you should all know about

I had a problem with my Telmex internet speed this morning. Couldn't get solid connection with any website. I was on the phone with Telmex over 2 hours. He determined that there were 8 other connections using my internet. I only have 3 devices. So finally he changed my login and password and immediately my internet functions at top speed. He said there are programs to hack into your internet and he recommends that I call Telmex and change my password every 5 months.

I'd never heard of this before so I thought I'd pass it along.

Sometimes you have upgrade you router to get better speed, stronger signals and greater protection. I just bought this one, but haven't installed it yet.

The Telmex router is old and typically not the best for wi-fi. You still need it to connect to the internet, but use an ethernet connection from the Telmex unit to the new router

I house sat in Melaque and often had slow speeds (not s bad as yours)

I found my landlord gave the modem code to two neighbors. I changed the password and waalaa. One neighbor came over asking and they were only going to be here for a few more weeks so I gave them the code
