<p>I get my service through NMSURF wireless (formerly CNSP) and have
had pretty good service, though *I* may have somewhat lower
expectations than most people... a little like Gary... when you
grow up without *any* internet and then "come of age" with
110/300/1200bps dialup and got really excited by 56Kbps service,
what I have now (nominally 25MBps) which *usually* supports one or
more video/audio streams and feels to have no significant lag in
other uses feels like a dream. It may well not support the level
of bandwidth/latency the high-demand gaming use cases you have.
But that is probably true of *any* service in much of NM? <br>
</p>
<p>A superficial observation is that since you live in one of the
oldest, most patchworked areas of Santa Fe, it might not be
surprising that the *physical* infrastructure in your area is very
limited and vulnerable to failure... I could be wrong, if you've
seen a 4'wide trench up your road in the last 5 years they *may*
have been laying first-mile fiber, but I doubt it.</p>
<p>Wireless may be your best bet if you've tried everything else
(especially).</p>

<div dir="ltr">Heya Gary! Hope all is well.
<div>I live around canyon over by Johnnies Market. and on a good
day might get 10-13 of the 25 MBS. Which isbad. Backups,
updates, and some games are significantly larger than 25mbs a
second down, and the modem speed up is ridiculous for what
comcast charges. It's especially ridiculous its allowed as a
thing at all.</div>

But having lived in Pecos for 10 years and being in Santa
Fe most of those days for work, internet speed still
interests me. When I left NM in 2008, I was still on
dialup out in Pecos (28.8 kbps on a very good day with
Cybermesa), although someone was installing wireless in
the area (512 kbps was the top speed even with the "high
speed" plan, if I recall). And the local phone
carrier (Centurytel if I recall the name correctly) kept
offering broken promises of DSL. Here in rural Ecuador, I
only have semi-decent access by learning wireless tech
myself and installing thousands of dollars worth of
equipment on my own tower and on my provider's tower 15 Km
distant. Still, it's cost prohibitive to get much over
20-30 Mbps, although prices are steadily going down. Here
at the end of several multiples of the "last mile"
phenomenon, microwave is really the only way to bridge the
gap, and on rugged mountainous terrain heavily forested
with tall trees, like here, it is often expensive.</div>
