Okay, thanks. I'm thinking as far north as we'd probably look is around 30-45 minutes north of Bangor. We'll get plenty of pictures when we head up. I've even used Google Earth to drive around the areas. It's helped somewhat.

We have never lost internet in 11 years here.

Are you southern half or northern half of the state?

When I had Unfairpoint, it was going out all the time. When I switched to Time Warner Cable(now Spectrum), last September, 2016, it has never been less than 17 down and 2.3 up---ever.

Sounds like internet shouldn't be much of an issue then. The things that I'm looking for in settling down is having my garden so I can do some canning and having room for my dogs.

Wife had to tell the technician that showed up that the ONLY problem was their radio receiver on the side of the house. After and hour of dithering, he replaced it.

Would anyone know how hard it would be to find employment with 23 years of business experience and a bachelor's degree in business?
