That's out of date. They ran fiber down the Pacific coast when the highway was paved, and it doesn't cost that much to get a connecting line run to your house (source, did this a few months ago, have reliable symmetric 75Mb).
Power is a larger concern - in rainy season we've been having outages several times a week, though most are short. That will vary based on location.
In any case, if renting a house, check for fiber & check whether they have a generator or a few UPSes at least.
