I really have no idea. I get paid very well but that is not representative of the common wages around here.

The service by itself is expensive, considering it's just Internet. The most common package for internet + phone, on the most popular provider, costs around 24 USD monthly. If you want cable add another 20 bucks.

According to some websites the median wages in Mexico per home at 2013 was around 740 USD monthly.

Interesting. I decided to do a comparison using the percentage of monthly income for the Internet. I decided to use $30,000 a year per household to represent middle end of working class. I figure it's a fair class to use and pretty large. I used price of good Internet (50Mbps) in my area. So, here's the costs:

USA: 2.8% of household income; Mexico: 3.2% with your number

So, they're quite similar. For that, I get 50Mbps down and a fraction up for $70. You get 200Mbps down and how much up? Either way, you're getting a good deal as a percentage of income. If you're better than $740/mo, you're getting a really good deal. I'm envious. :)
