A Connection That Works as Hard as You Do: How Kit Carson Fiber Empowers Local Customer Yavanne Jaramillo

Yavanne Jaramillo’s life is a testament to dedication and community spirit. As a local business owner, a rental caretaker, and the dedicated Special Olympics coordinator for 16 years, her schedule is packed. She needs reliable high-speed internet. But the decision to switch to Kit Carson fiber three years ago was not just about professional convenience—it was about providing essential stability at home for her daughter, Leanna.


Leanna, who is autistic and disabled, relies on the internet for her daily routine, using it constantly for music and movies. Structure and consistency are necessities for her daughter. Before Kit Carson Internet, the family endured constant frustration caused by slow speeds and frequent outages. These interruptions disrupt Leanna’s required structure.


“I ended up switching over to Kit Carson because it was a better service and higher speed… I did it more for my daughter,” Yavanne explains. “She likes structure. When I had CenturyLink, the internet would just shut off. Now, with Kit Carson Internet, we’ve never had a problem in three years. It’s been perfect”.


Since connecting to Kit Carson fiber, those frustrations have vanished entirely. The stable, powerful connection allows Leanna to stream her favorite Metallica albums and Chinese food videos without a hitch, ensuring the calm and predictable home environment she needs. This reliable service is a game-changer.


The reliable connection simultaneously drives Yavanne’s demanding work life. In the past, high-bandwidth tasks like regular Zoom meetings for her tireless Special Olympics coordination efforts were a struggle. Her previous service simply stalled under the pressure of their busy household.


“I have Zoom meetings all the time for the Special Olympics, and that used to be slow,” Yavanne says. “Now, I can be on both of my desktop computers in my office and Leanna is on her laptop and her phone… and things are much faster. I’ve noticed a big difference!”


This multi-device reliability is essential. Today, Yavanne can file business invoices and manage rentals online while Leanna is streaming; the bandwidth never falters. Kit Carson Internet empowers both of them to be online simultaneously for work, charity, or relaxation.


Beyond the speed and the fiber, Yavanne says the true difference is outstanding local service. She speaks of the staff—including Samuel, Laura, and Nadine—like trusted neighbors who treat customers like family. “I love the workers at Kit Carson Internet. They did a wonderful job. They were here and gone, hooked up everything,” she adds.


This positive partnership has turned Yavanne into an enthusiastic local ambassador. She has convinced the owners of the vacation rentals she manages to switch to Kit Carson Internet after guests complained about the slow speeds. Now, those visitors can work remotely or stream movies effortlessly from the rentals, making her job as a caretaker easier.


Whether she is organizing a major car show fundraiser or prepping athletes for the State Special Olympic Games in Albuquerque, Yavanne is always on the go. By choosing Kit Carson fiber, she found an affordable, reliable partner that works as hard as she does, supporting her home, her business, and her commitment to the community.
