The New Mexico Cord-Cutting Movement Is Real
The New Mexico cord-cutting trend is accelerating. Over 3.2 million NM households have already cut the cable cord, and the pace is picking up every quarter. For Albuquerque residents and the rest of New Mexico, the math is simple: traditional NM cable bills now average $129 per month, while IPTV delivers 20,000+ live channels plus 80,000+ VOD titles starting at just $7.99 per month.
Several factors specific to New Mexico are driving this transition:
- Cable inflation in New Mexico: Major NM providers (Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, DirecTV, AT&T) have raised rates an average of 28% since 2022 — well above the national inflation rate
- New Mexico internet speed: With NM average fixed broadband now exceeding 220 Mbps, every New Mexico household has more than enough bandwidth for buffer-free 4K streaming
- More channels than cable: IPTV gives New Mexico viewers 20,000+ live channels vs. the typical 200-500 on a NM cable package — plus all the New Mexico local channels viewers want
- NM sports without extra fees: Every regional sports network, NFL Sunday Ticket equivalent, NBA League Pass, and PPV event is included in one IPTV subscription
- No contracts, no equipment rentals: Month-to-month pricing with no $15/mo cable box rental and no 2-year lock-in — New Mexico residents stay in control
