The dream is for an acreage in the Invermere area. Going to need solid internet access to the place if this remote work thing is to happen.
From what I understand, pulling power to rural sites is reasonably common place - make sure there's service in the area - pay by the pole for BC Hydro to do the work.
Here's the question - is Telus / Shaw the same? Is there a distance from existing service that would be "too far" for a connection? (to say nothing of cost) I'm assuming Shaw's service would be preferable to Telus's DSL service (I will miss fiber). Any estimates on cost?

You'll probably have to contact Shaw. But I'm guessing, if they are willing to do it, the cost would be phenomenal. Maybe look into Starlink? You should be able to write off part of the monthly bill.
