Absolutely.

But, no, however the sentiment makes sense and as I am trying to disperse / decentralize most everything I can these days, including getting away from Google services, for example, this does make sense as well.

Got it. Damn. I just switched some services to CloudFlare DNS today…now I guess I’ll change them back.

Yeah, sorta. Nobody would provide internet to where I live, so I finally convinced a company to trench fiber to my house for me.

Unfortunately I’m paying $500/mo for like 96 months now so they can offset the cost.

Worth it though. My alternative was 512kbps DSL that would have outages daily and I’m a remote software engineer. It just didn’t work.

That’s awesome!

I had a similar but not really experience with one of my businesses where they messed up and I basically got business gigabit and four TVs and sports for something ridiculously low (business wise) of like $120/mo.

I later needed to add a TV and the rep put me on hold and then came back and said something to the effect of, “Here’s the deal… apparently we messed up your contract so your current price is locked in for 2 years. If you add this, we have to redo it, and it will go up to $450/mo. I would suggest you don’t add a TV.”

So I didn’t. I bought a $12 adapter off Amazon and just split the cable line instead.

Rural Oregon. 1gbps up and down. $600/month. I never go below ~930mbps each way.

Wait, why do people like to dump on CloudFlare? I must be out of the loop.

Also depends on where you live. I can charge my Model S from 0% to 100% for about $5-$6 and get 350-400 miles.

But my friend in California would have to pay something like ~$40, which makes it a much harder sell.
