Just curious? Does this center more on crappy internet access/cost? There are some miserable ISP options available in an amazingly large footprint given the day and age. WiMAX has helped in US but not much. I have always chosen to live in the boonies when possible and have utilized all of them at some point. When I'm in town on a nice CATV net connection that drops a 2.5g ISO on my drive in minutes, I don't care what's in the package so long as relevant to the system.
