How we review internet in New Mexico
Our methodology
We evaluate broadband providers in four categories: affordability, performance, value and customer satisfaction. Each category contains multiple sub-factors, all of which are weighted differently to impact the provider’s overall score.
For each sub-factor, we score all providers on a continuous scale of one to five, relative to the industry as a whole. Because the average download speed in America is currently 290 Mbps, for example, we assigned all plans with download speeds between 100 and 299 Mbps a score between three and four. Xfinity’s 200 Mbps plan received a 3.50 score for download speed, while Spectrum’s 500 Mbps plan got a 3.71.
We only considered standardized data points in our scoring system. More abstract data like consistency of service and brand reputation is still part of our analysis, but we opted to let our writers address them in the context of each review.

The price is better than Verizon and the service area is about the same. However, when trying to verify for my military service was the biggest pain ever. I am a physically disabled veteran and when I had to go to a store to verify, it made it a painful trip not to mention having to wait several hours to do this. Then to be told about three months later I have to go to a store again because their website is down.. come on now. You make over 200 million in the second quarter. You can’t tell me you don’t make enough to pay for tech support to fix this??
4/5
Very concerned about the monthly cost. It is supposed to be $20-$25 per month but my FIRST CHARGE was$46.16. I am expecting this to be $20 next month as agreed on as I cannot afford that price each month.
The future of internet in New Mexico
New Mexico’s $382 million broadband infrastructure proposal was approved to provide internet access to over 42,000 unserved and underserved communities throughout the state as part of the federal Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program. The funding will mainly be allocated to expand access in rural and Tribal areas that have less access to affordable high-speed internet options than suburban and urban communities in New Mexico. The state has a goal to connect these communities to internet with speeds of at least 100/20 Mbps by 2029.
