[lug] Advice for a incoming Colorado newbie

[Jordan Crouse]

Greetings -

My name is Jordan Crouse, currently of Salt Lake City, but soon to hail
from the Boulder / Longmont area.

I'm in the process of getting all my ducks in a row to move, so I turn
to you for advice on the geekiest (and therefore most important)
options:

1) Internet connectivity:  High speed is mandatory (I have a cable modem
right now, and I don't even want to contemplate going back to dialup).
What options are available (cable, DSL, etc)?   What providers are the
most Linux and geek friendly?  Are there any areas around Boulder /
Longmont that are *not* wired for high speed?  Personally, I would
prefer DSL with a static IP, but really, any high speed / always on
connections will do.

2) Television:  Is cable or satellite preferred?  Who is the cable
company, and what is their track record?   Here in Utah, everyone has
Comcast, and hates them universally.

3)  Location:  Are there any neighborhoods or areas that are wired for
fiber?  Where would be the ideal place for a Linux geek to live?

4) Is there anything else I need to know before making the move?

Thanks in advance for your assistance, and hope to see you all soon.

Jordan
