Tribune, Kansas - seems to be DSL or cable, &lt;=50 megabit (why does no one mention upstream speed?)<p>Marne, Iowa - Marne Elk Horne does fibre, up to 200&#x2F;5 (hope you never want to upload a YouTube video!), but it&#x27;ll cost you.<p>Curtis, Nebraska - DSL? Because of regulation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fiberconnect.org&#x2F;page&#x2F;nebraska-137" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fiberconnect.org&#x2F;page&#x2F;nebraska-137</a><p>Harmony, Minnesota - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.broadbandsearch.net&#x2F;service&#x2F;minnesota&#x2F;harmony" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.broadbandsearch.net&#x2F;service&#x2F;minnesota&#x2F;harmony</a> says Centurylink has fibre, but the main game in town appears to be fixed wireless.<p>Baltimore, Maryland - Xfinity in some areas, but seems like it&#x27;s pretty bad? 2015 - <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baltimoresun.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;technology&#x2F;bs-md-ci-broadband-expansion-20151013-story.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.baltimoresun.com&#x2F;business&#x2F;technology&#x2F;bs-md-ci-bro...</a><p>New Haven, Connecticut - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Connecticut&#x2F;New-Haven" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Connecticut&#x2F;New-Haven</a> says they&#x27;ve got fibre, but another source says it&#x27;s not in many places at all. Also, how do you get 115 megabit downstream on DSL?<p>Alaska - Initially I laughed, but it&#x27;s okay. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Alaska" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Alaska</a><p>Colorado - apparently you want to be in either Denver or Phillips: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Colorado" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Colorado</a><p>Wyoming - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Wyoming" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;broadbandnow.com&#x2F;Wyoming</a>. Teton, maybe?<p>I&#x27;m not from the US, please correct me.

Interesting.<p>The thing that is most toxic about long-term survival in small towns is the lack of many jobs. No jobs, no mortgage payment, no point.<p>Although if I was up for relocation right now, I&#x27;d look at Colorado (Denver&#x2F;Boulder) or Baltimore...

Norway does something similar. If you&#x27;re willing to move to the northern parts of northern Norway they will write off a chunk of your student loan each year plus give you pretty decent tax reduction on your income tax.

Does anyone know about a similar list for Europe?

Japan does this as well, with some places even going so far as to offer stipends for children and free rent.

Would they welcome Europeans?

It is true that San Francisco is becoming more expensive day to day.
