$325?!

Fucking what? For that you could get 10G fiber, but WWHHYYY?

I have a literal server rack in my laundry room running proxmox hypervisor and multiple self-hosted services, and even at that I only have 1G service and feel like I’m getting anally raped paying $110/mo for that.

Starlink and an LTE connection has me around this price point.

You are being ripped off, 10g sonic is like $60.
