I'm assuming high speed internet availability was a concern when looking for suitable property for telework? The parcels I've looked at in northern California all struggle with a necessary high speed connection and rely on satellite connections.
Yes, it was a primary factor, the town we are in has very hit or miss internet. It was like a needle in a haystack. My big priority was land and location, I couldn't really care about the dwelling as long as it was safe and habitable for the family. We had another first choice but had to pass due to it having spotty internet coverage. Verizon was the only provider but they have very hit or miss service due to satellite, especially during weather, plus the speeds were crap. We truly lucked out, our community is one of the few in the outskirts (we're 30 minutes outside of the already small town) where CableOne (Sparklight) and they had ran cable lines along the power poles as an infrastructure assessment and the speed is BLAZING. We have 300 download and 30 upload which is just enough for what we use and it has been 100% reliable since we moved in. Really unless a pole goes down and takes the cable line out we're only loosing service in a major outage. Satellite connections suck, I don't think I would of been confident enough in one for both of us to have our income tied solely to a dish.
