I've actually heard that a fair bit from many of the American bloggers I've worked with. One writer is on the move from NY state to the South, and she has to plan her route in such a way as to ensure she'll have Wi-Fi access so that she can get her regular client work done. So do you actually have any access in the small town? Consider looking into a new method of connection: "wireless hotspots", aka "wi-fi to go". It works over a cellular network, but instead of a phone, your mobile provider sells you a special modem that gets configured only once. So if you can get cell coverage, you can use these modems. All you need is an electrical outlet. And you can take it with you to anywhere with cell coverage and an outlet. Agreed.

I was in the market a few years ago, and the realtors didn't even know who to check to see if a house I might be interested in had access - so I ended up in a small town.
