Albuquerque homeowners are furious as fiber internet companies dig up yards, leaving gaping holes big enough for a person to fit in—causing chaos, complaints, and property damage. The city’s old stop-work orders are no longer the go-to fix; now officials are relying on meetings, task forces, and clearer communication rules to rein in the mess. While officials say this disruption is necessary for long-term broadband progress, residents feel invaded and ignored. One company is especially under fire, though the city won’t name it—so locals are urged to call 311 if they spot unauthorized digging. Meanwhile, a City Council bill to loosen regulations for fiber providers has sparked controversy, with the Broadband Office openly opposing it, setting up a tense battle between infrastructure needs and neighborhood rights.
