    Last week's Comcast outage left locals in the lurch, some consider
    building redundancy

    The full economic impact of a daylong internet outage last week in
    Santa Fe and Los Alamos might never be known, but local businesses are
    still reeling from the tough day. Some are looking to create their own
    internet redundancies to avoid future headaches.

    Xfinity customers across Santa Fe and Los Alamos lost internet for
    most of Wednesday last week after a dump truck pulled down lines at
    the intersection of Cerrillos Road and Richards Avenue. Internet
    service and, in some cases, phone service went down around 12:30 pm
    and wasn't fully restored in Santa Fe until 10 am the next day (Los
    Alamos regained service by 11:30 pm on July 20).
