Things are a little different When you have multiple people trying to work from home.
Even if a single connection is limited to 8Mbps a fatter pipe helps because you have more than one connection at any given time. Oh and fiber can do xMbps both ways I believe. Even Comcast gigabit is only 30Mbps up.
Where in the US can I get:
1. Cheap land to build a house
2. Under half an hour drive to Costco/sams club
3. Paved road to property
4. Water and sewage
5. Electricity
6. Fiber gigabit Internet
What else am I missing?
- noodlesUK 6y agoA considerable part of the Portland metro area has FTTP, and it extends into the semi-rural areas past eg wilsonville
- easton 6y agoChattanooga, Tennessee is the best bet right now, I believe. (Of course, depending on your definition of cheap land. But the internet bit is covered, and they have Sams). Internet: https://epb.com/home-store/internet https://epb.com/home-store/internet

- toast0 6y agoI notice your list doesn't include a decent commute to work. You can probably find somewhere in washington state that meets that, although for cheap land, you'll need to avoid population centers. And you'll need to pick a lot carefully. Electric coverage is pretty complete on paved roads, but water, sewage, and fiber networks aren't guaranteed. Well and septic isn't too bad, if the system is well built and the lot is appropriate (well needs an aquifer, septic needs a big enough flat patch and appropriate soils).
- bluGill 6y agoMany midwest small cities. In the Des Moines area you can get all that within an easy biking distance of costco.
