FWIW, I’m founder and CTO of a SaaS company and moved from an apartment in the city with symmetric gigabit out to the country with a 20/10 connection. It definitely was an impactful change for us at first. I had to change some work workflows to do heavy network stuff on a remote machine. It took some time to refine and make (nearly) as efficient as doing it locally. I also had to sandbox all the streaming gadgets in the house and limit their bandwidth allowance. But, the key for me was to move to an area with a reputable, locally owned WISP. It took a couple years but I found it. My WISP is run by an ex-IBMer down the road from me. The network is rock solid and goes down less than Comcast. I’m 10ms away from the nearest Google PoP. Everything on the network is solar-first. These WISPs are out there and they make the decision to move to the country at lot easier. Keep an eye out! I’m out in Colorado- Email me if you want to know where to look around here for good internet in a rural area.
