For not much money? You must live in a different VT.

No, I live in Expensive, VT. But if someone wants to move to East Dumbfuck, VT there are plenty of places that meet the stipulated criterion.

You can find a nice little place on a couple acres with no one else around in a place not everybody wants to live in for under $200k. Chances are they won't be reading this because there is no broadband among other inconveniences, but hey?

Is internet hard to come by or is it just horrendous everywhere?

Depends on what you mean by 'everywhere'. We have high speed internet to over 90% of the population, but that's only 50% of the area. So the more remote you go, the less the chance of high speed internet.

As I understand, the state has received various grants to get everyone up to speed in the nest couple years. Supposedly the cost will exceed $100 mil.
