Yep. Keep in mind that W.Tasman to Sacramento is a 2 hour drive at any
given time and 3 1/2 hours on a Friday afternoon. Also, if you enjoy
night life, Sacramento is not the best location on earth.

However, the seismic data is good and there's plenty of fiber, lots of
companies have moved their data here because they don't want to be
caught by "the big one" when it comes to the bay.

Ragingwire has good reputation, but here are some other alternatives:
