Consider that I moved here from Alameda, CA where I also only had DSL. I have yet to see "reliable broadband access" anywhere I've lived in the US (5 states).
Even though we have "choice" its generally: Comcast Cable or DSL (some other "subpar" option).
I detest Comcast and wish our country had actual ISP competition. And Comcast isn't available at my address either.
Why? Wouldn't reliable broadband access be a primary consideration for someone working from home?
