What is the situation in Santa Fe now? When I left in 2018, fiber still
seemed in the distant future. Our new house in North Carolina, when
built, had two fiber boxes by the street, one for CenturyLink and one
for Spectrum. Since then, another one was added (unfortunately they
accidentally cut the fiber line into the house, sending us back a
century for about a week). We pay a bit over a hundred a month for a
full gigabit. It is cheaper (per bit) at half a gigabit, but we were
running a business and went for the full gigabit.
Since the infrastructure act was passed, our county has been flooded
with trucks towing huge spools of orange fiber cable. They are running
alongside rural roads and along the village roads back from the main
roads. It looks like fiber will be within a hundred yards of almost
every driveway.
We have the option of upgrading to 2 gigabit service, and lord knows
what we could do bonding together three different providers 😉.

It depends on what's on the other end of your fiber connection :-)
Here in
land that tech forgot, getting more than a few tens of megabits feels
luxurious. One carrier has fiber optic passing over my property, and
they
offered to tap into it and give me 20 megabits for the low low price
of
$100 a month. Starlink's 300 megabits for $45 a month is heaven on
earth.
Isn't Santa Fe still sort of part of the third world?

Neat trick, but no substitute for fiber. 🙂

I have Starlink here in Ecuador and am very happy with it. But here
it is
only $45 a month and $120 there.

What are folks's thoughts on this? for the atrocious choices of

is
still god awful at a pathetic 25mgs. but so is Comcast. Appallingly
enough.
We get snow storms and stuff, is it a blackout then?
Asking because Comcast is going. From sometime early this morning to
about
20 minutes ago being out. Being legendarily terrible and no one has
had the
korvnka's the slap them with a RICO anti-trust suit yet. God only
knows
why.
So looking starlink and open to other options:
they have to real propper internet, at least 200mbs each way and
white-glove levels of service.
CC owen as well. I suspect we've both had enough.
