It's pretty awesome actually. Montana's in a lucky spot; our power company in the 90's got deregulated and decided they wanted to be the next WorldCom.

When combined with peering at the SIX in Seattle, we can provide a very nice service for rather cheap compared to other rural locations. That, and we are designing our network more like a datacenter which has greatly reduced costs.
