  • Where I am, there was only one provider of internet for a long time, and I was paying for a plan that’s more or less what you have right now. Then another company came in and laid fiber, and both companies slashed prices and now I get over double my download speed, no data cap, and something crazy like 50x the old upload speed all for like 20 dollars less a month! Before I switched to the fiber company, the first company even increased my download speeds without increasing the price! Anyone who says competition doesn’t change things is crazy.




  • Also you CAN run a small instance for free through Oracle cloud (as long as you enable swap if you’re using the amd instances) but your main limitations are going to be storage, as I use around a gig-ish per day with subscribing to a large percentage of the large communities (though there are things that are supposed to help with this like LPP, but I’ve never used it myself)
