Re: Broadband 'influencing where people live' said by Van:but I am 100% going to be sure that my next place is fully capable of up-to-date technology And how do you plan on doing that? This is the problem I've encountered out west: to verify what kind of service you can get at an address you *want* to live at, you have to provide a telephone number. Using the existing tenant's (or house owner's) number isn't necessarily accurate depending on if they actually have a land line, and if so, if it's non-VoIP. If an apartment dwelling, using the front/leasing office's number isn't necessarily accurate either (here we have apartments which span multiple city blocks).
So how exactly do you "guarantee" you can get said speeds without actually moving in first?

1 edit | The same way I did it 2 years ago when living in another city.
If an apartment complex, ask the managers and/or people living in the building what they currently have
If a house, see what neighbors have and/or make some calls to companies around the area to see if service can be found in that neighborhood.
It takes some effort but in the end is worth it.
It isn't THAT difficult to find out what services can be offered to a location.
The reason for my current situation is due to me being given 2 days to find an apartment in DC and I decided based on location to sacrifice my tech specs for a quick fix. |
