 We decided not to go for the house. Turns out it doesn't have wired internet and maybe still on dialup? And we looked into satellite or hotspot options but they all throttle the internet after 150GB. And F had some issues where her internet was throttled recently and she couldn't connect into her work VPN. Apparently there was vague plans for the local Internet company to expand up that way but no timelines available. 

So we are passing on it and it made us both sad

Commiserations!

No internet is a real problem, alas.

[unicornduke]

Yeah, and the throttling of the internet on alternates is the big problem. F checked her internet usage and was around 500GB for a month and I do a lot of stream watching and podcast downloading so I'm probably about the same. So it really wouldn't work. Now the one company said they just queue stuff after the folks with the high speed and it only made a difference during peak hours but it just wouldn't work.

Makes me sad. It was so nice.

Sympathy!

May you find somewhere nicer with no such fault.

D'oh. Sorry to hear that.

Bummer! But the right decision.
