[1st-mile-nm] Service in SE corner of Bernalillo County

[Cummins, Kevin (Tom Udall)]

Drew, John,

The NM Broadband Map seems to confirm what John notes in his reply about DSL and fixed wireless providers in that area.  

See attached screenshot photo from https://nmbbmapping.org/mapping/.   

But I am not sure who those folks are.  Perhaps someone here can confirm.  If not, let me know and I will try to find out.  (And if coverage not actually available where map says it is, that should be flagged for NM DoIT, which maintains the NM Broadband map.)

Best,

Kevin

I believe there are several wireless providers that have coverage in that area.

I know HigherSpeed Internet has been recently making significant investment into better backbone.
They have invested tens of thousands in new FCC licensed microwave capacity and are pushing more than 100Mb/s worth of traffic.
That is up 100% from a little more than a year ago.  They are also working on augmenting their distribution side as well.

Lobo may also cover that area, not sure.

Cibola Wireless may also cover
