After a year and a half of running my own webserver, I’ve finally sold out to a hosting service. Since I’ll be moving to a new apartment, the new ISP won’t allow me to run my own webserver unless I plunk down $80/month for a three year contract with only 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up. Even still, the 15/2Mbps service I signed up for is abysmal compared to the insane speeds I get at my current place. It’s no wonder commercial ISPs are fighting tooth and nail to prevent community and government organized internet service. Get a few thousand people together, lay down some fiber, and get faster speeds and a much lower price. Too bad there isn’t any effort to do this on the mobile phone front.
