Gil-
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?
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.
Wireless may be your best bet if you've tried everything else (especially).

Heya Gary! Hope all is well.
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.

Where in Santa Fe do you live? I ask only out of idle curiosity,
since I now live 6378 km from Santa Fe (check out the cool earth
distance calculator at
https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1224587128). 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.

Okay this is enough I am sick of this this BS ends. Who do I
not vote for so that we can finally get real internet out
today alone I've had 15 outages the other dents more thinks
the DSL is a good enough feel over solution Man I'm sorry but
DSL is just not internet these days I wish it was but no no no
no no when you're file size is or in an excess of 20 GB 30 GB
whatever I mean yeah that's disgustingly large but that's just
the reality of the world that I take as it stands .
What the hell do I do to get real 300 MB each way I'm not
going to compromise this time I did that too many times.
