Official name: Teléfonos de México — La Paz, BCS
La Paz's primary landline and home internet provider — plus a guide to all ISPs, mobile carriers, and dialing in Mexico
Coverage varies by neighborhood — ask neighbors or your real estate agent which ISP works reliably at your specific address before signing a contract.
Izzi and Total Play are the main Telmex competitors in La Paz. Both offer fiber options and may have better promotions at certain addresses.
For remote workers who need reliable connectivity, many La Paz expats use a Telmex or Izzi home connection as primary and a Telcel or AT&T México mobile data plan as backup.
Mobile data modems (MiFi from Telcel or AT&T México) are a viable alternative to home internet if you move frequently or are in La Paz seasonally — plans run 300–800 MXN/month.
Telmex installation can take 1–2 weeks from contract signing. Plan ahead if you need internet from day one — a mobile SIM is useful while waiting.
Bill payment at OXXO (convenience stores) using your account number is the most reliable method for expats without a Mexican bank account.
