I really did miss on the infrastructure. Here we did get fiber to home/business (within the last 2 yrs, although promised far longer), I have it here on the farm and we are about a mile from the road, 3 miles from the nearest station. I got to thinking about it more, the inlaws don't have good internet and they have a bunch of these JoeBob type of IPs that are spotty at best.

1. This also brings about little to no motivation for protection of users data. How many get taken for ransomware type of attacks, don't tell anyone if they can avoid it and just pay it and go on about their business? Since it's our data, we have the most incentive to be motivated for protection, now some don't care and that's on them. But a 3rd party isn't going to be motivated like we are going to be on the security and stability of our own data. Ironically, this happens quite a bit at the city/state level (which makes me think of a scary and yet funny story, but I digress) as well.
2/3. There are some, but certainly not that many. Typically though, if they allow for #3, they also allow for #2, at least the ones that I have seen and looked for.
4/5. Because people don't look at the agreements, even ones that are 2-4 pages long, heaven forbid if they are 20 pages and then enough of them don't go, "I don't think so about this", agreements are always going to be more one sided then not. I mean come on, how many people look at the changes in their ToS of what they do use when those emails come out? Not many. That type of mentality has to change.
6. Don't forget security as well as reliability. Now granted, the effort has to be put forward to make sure they the research is done, but like #1, we are the ones that are the most motivated about our own data (and that's really what this is for, our data) and it's security/reliability. Want to pass that on to someone else, that's your call. This is why (among others) I don't like the thought of Win 11 making the host file locked. Depending on the LAN setup, there are legitimate reasons for security to need Windows to respect the hosts file and from what I have been reading, it is going to be locked in Win 11 (Win 10 ignored it for their own updates as well, they used to be the early workaround for not getting the forced updates).

This is really getting heavy.
