I couldn't agree more. I'd love to live in deep rural but I really need at least 10 mbit/s duplex reliable (rare downtime, low ping/jitter) internet connection (at a reasonable price), Amazon/eBay/etc delivery and a train to get me to the city in no longer than a couple of hours on any day I need. Once these are available I'm movin'
- sizzzzlerz 7y agoNo ISP is going to invest in high-speed internet to rural areas without a built-in base large enough and willing to pay for it. In any case, I'm pretty sure that they'd charge somewhere north of your reasonable price. As for trains, even less unlikely. Running a train is a massive expense in capital costs and maintenance. Any trains still remaining today are exclusively freight save for Amtrack which only follows its limited routes.

- qwerty456127 7y agoAs for trains the situation already is perfect all over (well, perhaps not all over but everywhere I've been to) the Europe. Cheap, comfortable, everywhere. The situation with the Internet connection and delivery services is somewhat worse but improving and I hope Startlink etc are going to revolutionize the market by delivering Internet everywhere. I believe Internet everywhere really is an essential thing every nation has to get to revitalize rural development.
