HOUSTON, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In partnership with the City of Santa Fe, Ezee Fiber announces plans to begin construction in the public right of way to expand the availability of high-speed internet services. The construction will begin in late October to early November. Ezee Fiber's infrastructure upgrades will make its high-speed internet services available to nearly 5,000 Santa Fe homes in this first phase, which includes Ezee Fiber's full suite of services, including multi-gig broadband speeds for residential and business customers.

According to industry sources, about 48 percent of U.S.A. homes and businesses have access to high-speed fiber internet.  Further, according to BroadBandNow, New Mexico ranks 47th in the country in 2025 for access to high-speed fiber internet. 

Ezee Fiber says it will communicate extensively with area residents before construction begins. Signs will be posted indicating work areas. Temporary road detours may be required, and parking may be restricted in construction zones. Access to properties will be maintained as much as possible during construction. Residents will be notified by Ezee Fiber's construction contractors at least 10 days in advance of any temporary road restrictions. 

These infrastructure construction projects are part of the effort to facilitate the expansion of broadband infrastructure. The investment behind the high-speed internet expansion throughout Santa Fe is from Ezee Fiber.

"Homeowners and small and medium sized businesses today depend upon the internet to work, play, learn, shop and grow their businesses. We are very excited about the future in Santa Fe, and we are thrilled to move ahead with our growth plan," said Carlos Rosas, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Southwest Region, Ezee Fiber.

"Ezee Fiber's investment in Santa Fe translates into faster internet speed and improved reliability for our families, students, and local businesses, says Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber. The fiber optic internet lines will improve the city's overall internet experience. I am especially encouraged by Ezee Fiber's dedication to serving all communities in Santa Fe."

The state of New Mexico's department that oversees digital infrastructure strongly encourages this expansion. 

"This groundbreaking exemplifies Ezee Fiber's continued commitment to build and deploy broadband in New Mexico. Their plan to deploy aerial and underground fiber to thousands of locations in the City of Santa Fe and surrounding County is not only a tremendous undertaking but underscores our mission to deliver universal connectivity in New Mexico. We at the State Broadband Office also applaud the strong public-private partnership in the Santa Fe area to make this happen. This endeavor will also mean more competition which will lead to better service," says Jeff Lopez, Director, New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion.
