        There are a number of places moving forward with it.

        My home town went forward with a private/public partnership and rolled out fiber 2 years ago. They are not offering gigabit speeds last time I checked, but it is still a good service.

        Edit: I was wrong, they are offering gigabit now..

            SC has a decent job market. My aunt lives in Greenville, or one of its suburbs. I would say look for the area by climate first, then go by jobs. Find the job in the climate you want.

              Kansas City is hopping with IT Jobs. What is your experience (years/technology, etc...)?

              Bob, what is KC like in terms of rainfall?

                Also, @Bob-Beatty, isn't KC right in the middle or Tornado Alley country?

                  Oklahoma is worse for Tornados.

                  The major cities in the midwest don't get hit like the small towns do. I'm guessing it's because of the temperature difference.

                  That's not to say they Don't get hit.. just much less likely.

                    Yes, the concrete jungle affects the weather patterns quite a bit. I live just enough to the east of the city that you can really see things in the weather patterns on days when the city/country temperatures are divergent enough.

                    St. Louis had a nasty one a few years back, but it was almost all property damage to businesses. The area it touched down was not heavily residential.

                      I cant agree more. There are alot of variables that are hard to understand until you get to know an area. The map that @Nic posted is nice and all, but it isnt necessarily accurate down to the city\county level.

                      I live in an area that needs IT people and has a relatively low cost of living, but if you go 35 miles east to Orlando the cost of living increases by almost 50% and the market is over saturated with IT people. Then you have Tampa which is a booming area for IT. The funny thing is the 3 places that I mentioned are completely different and they arent very far apart. Tampa is about 80 west of Orlando and I am about 35 miles east of Orlando. These 3 places just cover a small portion of Central Florida and are completely different.

                        Now that you have been thinking about it for a bit, where are you thinking that you want to move?
