I don’t know why techies move into residences without first checking the communications options.



I bought a house in rural new mexico and forgot entirely to check this until I moved in.

Thankfully, I could get 40Mbps down / 5Mbps up which is enough for me. It is scary to think about what I would have done if the service had been substantially worse (or not available at all).


I would love for better options for this -- the place I live now took nearly two months to find!

Comparing address listings against the various provider websites is a ridiculous chore

It's frustrating - depending on the street you may have 2/1 gigabit fiber... or DSL.
