Some friends or family with better internet connection?

Unfortunately, I have no geeky friends in Mexico City. I suppose I could ask some friends in the US, but i doubt most of them would want to go through the trouble.

If only fedex offered the service to actually download the internet!

It is. Telcel/Infinitum is the only company that services this area and they wont upgrade the network because it's a poor area.

Yeah, forgot to mention that it's an area of Mexico City, not a City itself.

Unless we are talking about illegal downloads, don't you think some of your American friends could be persuaded into helping you out? If you are paying cost, postage and some sort of compensation it shouldn't be that difficult. Of course I am not American so I have no clue if the general consensus is helpful with this sort of problem.

It's nothing illegal, it's all on the companies server. Just got to login and download the files.
The biggest problem is trying to persuade my friends to download 420gb that would go against any cap they have. I have one friend without a cap that I know could do it, but their company pays for it and she doesnt like using it heavily for personal stuff.

The ones local to here have a 2mb line - i've had to use them when this one craps out and they really dont like you downloading stuff as it slows down everyones connection (but i think they hate it more because it slows THEIRS down)

2mb ain't much either. It would still take forever to download 400+ gb.
Alternatively I'm sure you can find someone here who isn't going to swindle you out of your bucks.
I would offer, but I'm not located in the States so it would be kind of pointless.

Not a bad idea - if I can find someone here. I think i'd have more luck in the richer areas of the city, but they're also the same areas where you dont find many internet cafes or the like.

Ask your ISP if they're offering enterprise connections (high speed ones, expensive, but reliable and fast), try downloading the files separately (one video in a neighbor's connection, then the other one, so on so forth), or consider the option of asking someone to download something and send it to you in an HD, if you cannot find another solution.

The options are available, but not for this area. It's a relatively poor area (and we're living here for free in order to save up to buy a house)

Buy a server(to download files) then get this?>>nearest that I can find I heard before that they will actually ship the hard drive

I bet whatever company you work for wouldn't mind sending you an HDD with the files, even deducting it from your pay if they aren't feeling generous.
As another option, try visiting a local university and asking if you can piggyback off their network a couple of days, or even find someone there who's willing to do the work for you. Universities rarely have data caps, and can usually spare the bandwidth.

As we should still have. But Portuguese elitists love the new technologies, even if there's little money to spend. We have villages with fibre optic connection, 100/200 Mb w/ unlimited traffic. I'm still using a shitty connection.. 30 Mb coaxial, also w/ unlimited traffic, but I'll change soon to fiber optic too. xD

I have remarkably poor internet access in my apartment. It is supposed to be 1mb, (which would be bad enough) but it is constantly cutting out or getting 10k/s max.
(Money is not an issue. This is literally the fastest internet access I have available to me in this part of Iztapalapa.)
I have a work project that is coming up in about 2 months where I will need to download 420gb of video files and even if I utilise my inlaws internet access, it'd take me about a month to download (which is not at all acceptable)
Any one know a solution other than moving? Because it's it's currently out of the question.
