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 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 Program (BEAD). 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.
New Mexico internet customer reviews
The customer service is bad.
3/5
I had a great experience with Xfinity until recently. The internet has slowed down massively in the last week! Whenever I check online it says speeds are normal, but my phone is way faster when it’s on data.
3/5
Moving my internet to my new rental was beyond easy. My only complaint is the slow down and sometimes spotty service both in internet and phone (they provide my mobile) in my small town. It’s that way with ALL the internet providers in the area and Xfinity is the best provider here.
4/5
