Florida is fine 9 months out of the year. Summer kills me. Where can I move to and enjoy a nice, temperate climate all year long? High speed internet and satellite or cable TV access is a must.

That is a tough question. No one place that I have found outside of California fits that description. When I retire, I plan to spend the summer months up in Alaska or somewhere similar.
If you are willing to put up with the BS, high costs and high taxes, the Central Coast area of California has nice weather all year round. I lived south of Santa Maria in 2006 and it was basically 50 for the low and 68 for the high on the average day year round. They also have great food and great wine there.

I actually lived in Monterey for about a year a long time ago. Nice place, but expensive, and well Californians. If I could swap in Texans, I'd be down for it.
Screw temperate, long live Colorado and 4 actual seasons!!!!!!(Not intended to be seen by Texans and Californians, it's horrible here)

Hawaii has some of the most steady temperatures of anywhere I know about.
Check out the record high and low temperatures as well as averages:

That's what I was thinking...but then you're on a rock.

Hawaii is nice. I visited on a work trip ~10 years ago and brought my wife. We liked it a lot, but it is expensive and you know you are on an island.
Central Texas, areas such as San Antonio.
Cost of living is low, weather is manageable, and environment is equitable.
This is unless you have a problem with immigration.
This is not a sarcasm.
Good weather to store machines for moisture, as long as you can moderate temperature.

North Carolina or Virginia, maybe?
In geography, temperate or tepid latitudes of Earth lie between the tropics and the polar regions. The temperatures in these regions are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold, and the changes between summer and winter are also usually moderate.

It has been hotter in Northern VA recently than the Gulf coast of Florida.

Is it the heat you don't like? I have found air conditioning to make it really rough on a person when they actually go outside. There are some theories I've read that if you experience the weather as it changes throughout the year, your body will acclimate itself and you'll be able to cope with extreme heat or cold a lot easier.
There may be another country that satisfies the requirements that you have. I know I'm jealous of a lot of other countries internet. America's sucks compared to Europe.
Las Vegas?
It gets pretty hot there, but I've never been as hot there as I was when I went to Florida in the summer one year. Shhhheeesssh it was hot.
SoCal is pretty sweet all year round.

It is the combination of humidity and heat that gets me. Vegas over 100 is more tolerable than Florida in the 90s, but don't really want to live there either.

I've been told that Santa Barbara, CA is good year round. Never been there.
Bermuda is pretty much 25C +/- 2 year round.
I think the real answer is enough $$$ to live in 2 different places and swap every 6 months.
1 in northern Hemisphere. 1 in Southern Hemisphere.
Pick the seasons you like and live in them year round.

I agree with Bermuda. Steady temperatures all year, nice golf courses, but very expensive to live there.
Move to the UK - as long as you don't mind some rain at times.
England is temperate, it's as hot as it normally gets at the moment at 86F, and it doesn't normally drop much below freezing in winter. More than a couple of inches of snow for a day or two in winter is unusual. We speak your language, even if we spell some words funny.

It gets hot as balls down there dude!
And several months a year you get to watch turkey vultures eating hot, steamy roadkill every day.
Quoted from poppapin:San Diego for the win!!
I've driven in rush hour traffic there. No thanks! The weather is nice though.
Asheville North Carolina is the closest to what I have seen for what you are asking for.
Pretty mild year round but you still get seasons.

We mostly call them Buzzards in Virginia. My Mom grew up on a farm and when we would visit the grandparent's farm we would see them all the time.

That doesn't sound bad at all. Off the top of my head I can't think of a detractor.

It really is beautiful area and great culture also. They have music, food, outdoors, a pinball museum, short drive to other fun stuff (nashville or the coast). You can still find reasonably priced homes in a holler leading out of town. Good health care as lots of snowbirds. Would be a great city to retire to.
they are steadily getting 4 inch of rain (on avg) each month, but is is really a sunny place where rain just comes in during the afetrnoon so that stat is a bit decieving.

Yeah Asheville is high on my list. The whole area is beautiful and the people are friendly. I'd like to be in the hills outside town above 4000 feet for the best weather.
I've lived all over the U.S. and Prescott, AZ is about the nicest all around climate I've experienced. You get the four distinct seasons and each is very mild.
I would vote St. Martin. There's always a breeze, and the high temp is between 82-88 depending on the time of year.
