Local here. Feel free to contact me (check profile) for anything. :)
We have a incubator called parallel18, and a couple of working spaces. It's not a super huge tech scene but the people are awesome.

But also, if one is responsible for the functioning of significant amounts of infrastructure, then it's not so great to have to worry about internet flaking out in the middle of working through production issues.
But yeah if you were working on something solo, then bad internet wouldn't matter as much.
Personally, I prefer fast internet and blocking sites via hosts file, extension, or an app. But I lack a certain amount of self discipline. I doubt being without fast internet for long periods of times and not wasting because of that outweighs having slow internet after the initial change of pace.
For consumers, there's gigabit internet (both upload and download) without any data caps for $70/mo [0] in part of the metropolitan area. They appears to have commercial offerings [1], but no pricing info is available.
I found this blog post [2] from 2015 claiming that getting internet speeds adequate for streaming a large event can range between $1500 and $3000.

It's an awesome spot for working remotely if you're into the water.
