On a rural property you’re likely looking at a rural electric coop; I know OEC (which operates in McClain, Cleveland, Pott, and Oklahoma counties) offers fiber to the home, and I’d guess that other RECs are either doing or at least considering the same. (OEC’s member magazine just reported that they have 20,000 Fiber subscribers now, which isn’t surprising, as they’re charging the same for 100Mbps symmetric as AT$T charges for the 6Mbps tin cans on a string that they call Uverse.)Personally, I prefer natural gas heat, so I’d also check with the local utility providers about its availability. I think ONG (Oklahoma Natural Gas) is the primary retail NG provider in the state, but I don’t know if anyone else does it.</blockquote>
