Wow - First post to the group. I moved to Las Vegas, NM from Pasadena, 
CA and it depends where you live. I bought a house with some land 
outside of town.so my only choice was satellite. I went with Starband. 
Other than some minor installation hitches, it runs along smoothly and I 
get nearly the same download speeds as I got with Champion Broadband in 
Pasadena. Champion ran fiber to the pole so it was speedy. If you are 
living in Las Vegas proper you have your choice between Comcast and the 
local wireless provider Desertgate. Desertgate is helpful, friendly and 
linux friendly. There wifi network covers the town and the immediate areas.
