[quote name="I just can't picture it. "]I eyeballed a house in a subdivision that was 15m between two cities - advertised as internet-capable, they had rural DSL but they weren't taking new subscribers because the network they had already laid was overtaxed -- so the only way I would have been okay buying the house was if they gave me their existing internet account - but I wasn't about to make a 130,000$ bet like that. 3 years later I've been telecommuting for the past nine months, so that was definitely the better bet.
