Best Internet Providers in Continental Divide, NM

Residents of Continental Divide, New Mexico, enjoy a choice of two top-tier internet providers that offer consistent availability and service options. Viasat Internet leads by covering 100% of the area with its satellite connection. Resistant to the local disruptions that often affect wired networks, it's a solid option. Viasat plans start at $49.99 per month, granting customers a download speed of up to 10 Mbps, perfect for consumers who value stable connectivity.

Hughesnet parallels Viasat, offering an equally comprehensive coverage of 100% across Continental Divide. This provider also uses a satellite connection, making it a robust choice even where other connection types lag. For $49.99 per month, Hughesnet's customers take advantage of a maximum download speed of 25 Mbps, which is significantly faster than Viasat. This may appeal to users who require an extra speed boost.

It should be noted that the technology coverage in the community varies. While fixed wireless and DSL connections are available, they are less prevalent than satellite. Additionally, despite the significant efforts by these providers and new entrants, some areas of Continental Divide remain under-served by internet technology.
