== 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 Ocean|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.

In June 2006, Megacable started to offer a "Megafón" telephone service, becoming an official "triple play" communications company. In 2009, Megacable began offering 10MB broadband service throughout most of its service area.
