The vast majority of homes in Albuquerque will get the most reliable coverage from Xfinity's cable broadband. Not only does Xfinity cover 83.12% of homes in the Albuquerque city limits, it's also the most readily available provider in both South Valley and North Valley.
A major benefit of going with Comcast's in-house Internet brand is that it has 189,000 employees across the country. This means it has the manpower to react to customer service and technical issues. Plus, Comcast offers great deals and bundles should you find that you also need home phone, home security, or television.
