History
Megacable has its origins in two small cable companies called VICASIN and VICASON serving a handful of cities in the states of Sinaloa and Sonora, around 1983. Soon after initiating operations, the companies were merged and began the process of acquiring rights to operate other cable systems on the Pacific coast. In 1996 the company relocated its headquarters to Guadalajara where Megacable then focused on technological improvements.
In 1997, Megacable become the second broadband internet operator in Latin America (after Intercable in Monterrey) when it launched MegaRed, Internet por Cable.The company produces its own advertising and buys national TV and radio spots to promote itself.
Since June 2006, Megacable started to offer the new Megafón telephone service, becoming an official "triple play" communications company. In 2009 Megacable began offering 10MB BroadBand Service throughout most of its service area.
