With all the young people in town, one would assume that Columbia is a great place for technology. We have so many great opportunities with the University and it's extensions. Even Google contemplated bringing their new breakthrough high-speed services to Columbia (we were marked off the list about a month ago, though). It has taken a while, but we are starting to come up to speed with the rest of the country. In large cities, they have city-wide wireless internet at cable speed. That's not available here...yet. Check out this link for a map of all the places in Columbia that offer free wireless Internet access: Wireless access map. What a great resource if you need that wireless capability!
Wondering if you have the ability for high-speed internet in your home or in a home you are interested in purchasing? If the phone lines are serviced by CenturyLink, which is the case for a lot of the homes in the central Missouri area, you can check out this link which lets you select the address and find out if there is high-speed internet available: Centurylink High-speed check. The access to high-speed internet, even in rural areas in growing stronger everyday. If it's not available, there are other options. Satellite high-speed, or Internet through your mobile service provider could be options.
