Vexus Fiber Introduces High-Speed Internet Service In Las Cruces

First Neighborhoods on East Idaho Avenue and El Paseo Road are Live

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vexus Fiber, a leading provider of high-speed fiber optic internet, proudly announces the launch of its high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet service in Las Cruces. Residents and businesses in the neighborhoods of East Idaho Avenue and El Paseo Road can now experience the transformative power of ultra-fast and reliable internet, marking the commencement of Vexus Fiber’s extensive city-wide rollout. Residents and businesses located in Vexus’ initial service areas may now sign up for fiber internet by visiting shop.VexusFiber.com.

This significant milestone follows the initial phase of construction that began in February, backed by a $50 million privately funded investment dedicated to delivering high-speed internet to over 44,000 homes and businesses in Las Cruces. The initial launch will connect approximately 400 homes and businesses to some of the fastest internet speeds available in the nation.

“We are thrilled to bring our high-speed fiber optic network to the residents and businesses of Las Cruces,” said Jim Gleason, CEO of Vexus Fiber. “Our teams have been working diligently to meet our ambitious timeline, and the launch on E Idaho Ave and El Paseo Road is just the beginning. We’re committed to providing the community with the speed, reliability, and service they deserve.”

Vexus Fiber’s network will offer symmetrical speeds, with packages from 150/150 Mbps up to 5/5 Gigs (5000 Mbps) for residential customers to meet every household need and secure a connection that protects their personal information. This is ideal for today’s demands of work-from-home setups, online learning, streaming, and gaming. The fiber-to-the-premise approach guarantees a more robust and secure internet experience compared to traditional cable networks. Businesses now have access to data connections customizable at multi-gig speeds to meet their specific needs and TeleCloud-hosted communication solutions that bring together phone, chat and video conferencing services in one.

The ongoing construction will expand throughout Las Cruces over the next three years, with additional neighborhoods receiving service as the project progresses. Vexus Fiber’s initiative is expected to generate 50-100 construction jobs and 30-50 permanent positions for the community.

“We are meeting the growing need for high-speed internet that supports multiple users and devices simultaneously,” said Kevin Folk, regional vice president at Vexus Fiber. “For Las Cruces, this launch represents a significant leap towards a more connected and technologically advanced community.”

Vexus Fiber currently operates in several regions across New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana bringing top-tier internet services to underserved areas. The company’s fiber network ensures reliable, high-speed connections even during peak usage periods, supporting multiple high-demand activities simultaneously without interruption.
