ZiaNet is able to provide economical dedicated connections in most communities in New Mexico because our statewide T3/DS3 fiber backbone reduces costs and makes connectivity affordable. As a result, we can provide economical pricing in areas where high per-mile charges have prevented businesses from using modern data communication services in the past. In most cases ZiaNet can provide pricing in rural communities that is comparable to prices normally found only in the larger cities.

ZiaNet's upstream Internet access consists of a 45 Mbps connection (T3/DS3) to the Sprint Internet backbone from our point-of-presence (POP) in Las Cruces, NM and a 45 Mbps connection to the UUNET Internet backbone from our POP in Albuquerque. There is OC3 (155 Mbps) ATM connectivity between these two POPs. We also have a fractional DS3 connection to another local Internet provider.

Depending on your community, dedicated connections between ZiaNet's local POP in your community and your organization's office can be based on:

  • point-to-point T1/DS1s,
  • dedicated wireless connections,
  • dedicated ISDN connections or
  • dedicated DSL connections.

Charges for higher bandwidth connections include registration of one domain name and hosting of your business web page (up to 60 Mb of disk space) on ZiaNet's servers, as well as IP addresses and news feeds. You may set up as many as 40 email addresses on your domain as part of the standard service. Email can be directed to your domain with your chosen email address e.g. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
