FYI, I called the contact number on the Santa Fe fiber website, which indeed was cybermesa. The person I spoke with was not very informative about any timescale for rollout other than stating that service would begin with businesses in the railyard area then the Capitol. He mentioned that more fiber would need to be laid to include other areas and/or households. He did not mention wifi extensions to fiber access. Basically it did not seem as if cybermesa was interested or capable of providing service to consumers as opposed to businesses any time soon. However, it may just be that the person I spoke with was a sales person who did not want to waste his time talking about a service he could not yet sell.
