Fifteen years ago, Kit Carson Internet (KCI) made a promise to the residents of our most remote mountain communities: that living in places like Amalia or villages north of Questa shouldn’t mean being left behind. Today, KCI is taking our community-first commitment to the next level. Starting April 1, 2026, we are launching a massive network-wide upgrade that pushes our fiber-optic speeds further than ever before—while simultaneously lowering monthly rates for our members. It is the next chapter in our history of connecting our region, not just to the internet, but to the future.
The “New Normal”: Faster and More Affordable
This isn’t just an update; it’s a fundamental shift for our neighbors. Residential “Standard” service is now a powerhouse 100/100 Mbps for just $50—doubling previous entry-level speeds. Power users can now access “The Streamer” (250/250 Mbps) or the blistering “Gamer” (500/500 Mbps), speeds once reserved for major cities. These changes are automatic; existing customers will see faster speeds and lower rates on their April bill.
Empowering Local Business and Home Life
What do these increases mean for our neighbors? For families, it ends “bandwidth battles.” A 100/100 Mbps connection simultaneously supports student video lessons, remote work meetings, and massive gaming updates—without buffering.
For local businesses and home entrepreneurs, the impact is a game-changer. Starting at $70, KCI’s commercial rates provide the digital backbone for today’s market. Whether you’re a shop managing cloud inventory, a consultant sharing 3D files, or a professional hosting e-commerce sites, “The Pro” 1G/1G speeds ensure geography never limits your success. These speeds turn our mountain communities into digital hubs, allowing you to work locally and compete globally.
Crystal Clear Savings with VoIP
Beyond the internet, KCI is revolutionizing its voice services. Residential VoIP rates have dropped to $25.00, and for those who combine it with internet service, the price falls to just $20.00 a month. For businesses, adding second, third, and fourth lines has become more affordable than ever—at just $10.00 to $15.00 per extra line—allowing local companies to scale their communications without the heavy overhead of traditional phone companies.
A Message from Leadership
Jose Lovato, Manager at Kit Carson Internet, sees this as a fulfillment of the cooperative’s mission. “Our commitment is to our neighbors,” says Lovato. “High-speed internet is a necessity for education and economic growth. By doubling speeds and lowering rates, we are ensuring North Taos County remains competitive. We’re proud to provide the state’s best value, right here at home.”
