Uh, yeah we have a ton of horses carrying bits all over the place--makes for great broadband. [rollseyes]
Seriously though, there's alot of open space around here that you're not gonna get broadband (or even other services) in, but if you live in a "city" (and I use that term loosely) there is cable and dsl just like everywhere else. My DSL speedtest results just showed 4950 down and 748 up. Cell coverage on the other hand can be a bitch, don't expect to use anything other than CDMA (Verizon/Alltel).
There are a fair amount of tech jobs here, considering the number of people, you just have to look. I work for a company doing php and c development, we also have people who do C#/.Net, Java and Python development as well as numerous IS and linux admins. Like someone else said, I'm not getting rich here, but it sure is a nice place to live and I am willing to pay the "scenery tax."
